    A “peace conference” where the other side wasn’t even invited.

    The US has strong-armed Ukraine into agreeing to a 30 day ceasefire with the US. Again, Russia wasn’t involved in the slightest.

    Whatever this is, it’s not a peace negotiation.

    To clarify, the ball is not in Russia’s court because the US has no authority to enforce any rules and is, in fact, itself a player. There is nothing the US can do to compel Russia to alter course given that years of sanctions and massive military aid to Ukraine have already failed. Western strategy in Ukraine has backfired leaving Russia holding all the cards.

    Meanwhile Russia seems to have staged a fake Ukrainian drone attack in Moscow.
