So far, on the diplomatic front, this sorts of covers it:
A peace deal between Russia and Ukraine looks close, except on everything that matters
Three issues still block an agreement to end the war.
An excerpt:
As negotiators gear up for another round of U.S.-brokered talks to end the war in Ukraine, Moscow and Kyiv remain deadlocked over the core disagreements that have defined the conflict since it began.
On Monday, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said
his negotiating team could meet with the Russians and Americans as soon as Sunday. The Ukrainian president is ready to sit down with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin,
according to his foreign minister Andrii Sybiha. But, Sybiha acknowledged, “the most sensitive issues are still unresolved.”
At this point the ‘sunk expense fallacy’ is working heavily on both sides. Nobody wants to concede anything because of how much this war has already cost them in casualties. And neither had great demographics even before they started taking casualties by the hundreds of thousands and - at least in the case of Ukraine - from massive outmigration of refugees.
