The Spin


Ukraine has submitted its latest proposals to the U.S. for ending the war. Only the U.S. has the ability to force Russia to abandon its plans of expanding the war and to bring it to the negotiating table.

Russia remains ready for a political and diplomatic settlement to the conflict, as long as it's in line with what Putin and Trump agreed last year in their Anchorage talks.

There's a 50% chance there will be a bilateral ceasefire or peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine by November 2027, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
