IN UKRAINE, THE WAR OF BOMBS—AND WORDS CONTINUES: Despite the much-ballyhooed agreement in principle to a 30-day ceasefire on energy infrastructure, neither Russia nor Ukraine has been pulling any punches. Each side appears intent on inflicting as much damage as possible on the other as the implementation of the ceasefire remains under negotiation.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio and national security adviser Mike Waltz are set to meet with Russian negotiators Monday in Saudi Arabia ostensibly to “broaden the ceasefire to the Black Sea on the way to a full ceasefire.” Still, at this point, there appears to be no ceasefire to broaden.
