The steady stream of reports about “progress” in peace talks can make a misleading impression. 3 things to remember:
1) much of the current talking is between 🇺🇸-🇺🇦-🇪🇺;
2) Putin has shown no interest in compromise;
3) All sides are at pains to show Trump that they are interested in a deal.

Unsurprisingly, Trump's immigration crackdown is not delivering labor market improvements for the US-born
Over the last year, native-born unemployment is up from 3.9% to 4.3% while native-born employment has decreased by a similar amount

Zelensky cannot go against Ukrainian public opinion in negotiations. We’ve seen it again and again and again. The US cannot push through Ru demands any more effectively than Ru could. Ru is not getting Donbas on a silver platter.

Russia destroyed 100% of Odesa’s energy infrastructure. All substations were destroyed by missiles and drones.
The city has been completely left without electricity, hot water, and heating for over one million people, including all critical infrastructure.
