The shape of a potential peace agreement in Ukraine remains uncertain, but a deal appears closer than ever. Last week, when U.S. and Ukrainian delegations met in Saudi Arabia, the Ukrainian side reportedly supported a U.S. proposal for a 30-day ceasefire — though Russia later dismissed the offer. On Sunday, U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff suggested an agreement could be reached within “weeks” and hinted at a range of possible concessions by Ukraine that he claimed were under discussion. Meanwhile, according to the Telegram channel Faridaily, the Kremlin is already preparing for one of the biggest challenges Russian society will face when the war ends: the return of hundreds of thousands of traumatized soldiers.
