> Russian affairs analyst Andrey Kortunov says there is cautious optimism but little substantive change before Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner’s latest Moscow visit. President Trump has said no new ideas are being offered beyond proposals discussed in Anchorage a year ago and rejected by Ukraine. Russia and Ukraine remain caught in escalation, with Ukraine striking deeper into Russia while Russia targets Ukrainian ports to cut off access.
