The wailing of sirens and the shrieking of apps warning of impending strikes are ordinary sounds everywhere. Explosions at gas stations and railway stations, in shopping centers, offices, and apartment buildings are a constant backdrop. Some reports indicate a new exodus of families from the capital to safer areas in the west
It is indicated that the capital’s residents have grown accustomed to, if not reconciled themselves to, the challenges of wartime life. At the same time, the new stage of the war is exerting physical, psychological, economic, and political pressure on Ukraine. At the same time, it is currently unclear what easing of tensions Ukrainians can expect through diplomacy.
According to sources familiar with negotiations between Donald Trump’s special representatives and Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a proposal for a limited technical agreement may emerge in the coming weeks. Trilateral talks involving the United States, Russia, and Ukraine could take place in Abu Dhabi in early October. But according to the authors, Putin will not agree to halt offensive actions at least until spring.
