The tone around the ceasefire talks in Ukraine genuinely appears to be improving.
We've been here before so it's tough to say whether this is real progress on yet-another headfake. Only time will tell but Trump's comments today are encouraging:
- Good conversation with European leaders
- Long discussion, and things are seemingly going well
- Had a long talk with Zelensky
- We had numerous conversations with President Putin
- European leaders want to get it ended
Germany's Merz also sounded unusually upbeat today.
