There are no signs that any party wants to stop the war, the US still gives weapons, European countries have a strong attitude, but no clear decision, no clearly defined policy, they are very driven but don't control the situation. China is asking with whom should we work?

Putin is not interested in any kind of negotiations and any kind of mediation. If Russia stops, the war is over. If Ukraine stops, there will be no Ukraine.

WHERE ON EARTH IS UKRAINE? A BRIEF REFLECTION ON RECENT GERMAN TALK SHOWS
1. No paradigm shift has yet happened in public German perceptions of the "#RussianWar:" For most politicians and commentators, #Ukraine keeps being far away. @UKRinDEU @GermanyinUA

2. Many #Germans subconsciously picture the war the following way. Of course, we are aware that formally #Ukraine is close. But, deep in our souls, we know that Ukraine lies between #Tibet and #Bhutan. Our #Germany, in contrast, is here, close, safe, and warm.
3. We want to keep it that way. Ukraine will have no choice but to stay behind the Himalayas while we will continue living in our old home, the #EU-#NATO continent. Such is life... Sure, we have lots of interest, empathy, and respect for #Ukrainians.
