Exhaustion, and resilience, in Ukraine
Clayton Collins
Welcome back from what for many in the United States was a three-day weekend. Let鈥檚 catch you up.
Senior U.S. and Russian leaders聽are meeting聽today聽in Saudi Arabia聽toward an eventual peace framework for Ukraine, which did not have officials at the meeting.
The Monitor continues to send reporters to assess what鈥檚 happening on the ground in Ukraine.聽Scott Peterson first crossed into the country from Poland, laden with gear, in the war鈥檚 earliest days. Today he reports from the mud and ice of the trenches and from city caf茅s, taking the measure of an embattled people鈥檚 spirit.
Also, U.S. Vice President JD Vance聽met with the leader of a German far-right party. That came after the vice president鈥檚 Feb. 14 speech at a security conference in Munich聽that left some European leaders deeply concerned about the state of old trans-Atlantic partnerships. We鈥檒l be taking a deep dive on the implications tomorrow.
