Assessment

model confidence: under Technical details

Read the full assessment

The US has reportedly reversed its December position, no longer conditioning security guarantees for Ukraine on territorial concessions, according to FT sources ahead of trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi. This shift, if confirmed, could remove a significant obstacle in ongoing negotiations. Concurrently, a retired German general has publicly argued for Ukrainian concessions due to Russia's battlefield advantage, reflecting a divergent perspective within Western discourse.
