WorldThursday briefing: Thanks to an erratic Trump, peace in Ukraine is still far away

Russia is resisting a ceasefire while Trump’s shifting priorities unsettle allies, leaving an end to the war no closer. Trump announced an energy ceasefire without apparently consulting either side; Zelenskyy said he was ready to accept it, and Putin then struck Ukrainian power plants. A former diplomat says Russia has no interest in ending the war and that recent talks have largely been efforts to persuade the White House the other side is at fault.
