The Economist asks:
When will Russia and Ukraine sign or announce an agreement to end the current conflict in Ukraine?
Closing Oct 01, 2026 07:01AM UTC
Russia's war in Ukraine continues, as planning for a second meeting between President Trump and President Putin fell apart (CNN, AP, Deutsche Welle). A signed or announced agreement must be acknowledged by both Russia and Ukraine to count. The Ukrainian government as recognized by the European Union must be party to the agreement to count. An armistice or a ceasefire of indefinite duration would count and must include the whole of Ukraine, including Donbas and Crimea. Time-limited agreements (e.g., 72-hour ceasefire) will not count. The date an agreement will take effect is immaterial.
