On the weekend, more than 90 countries held a conference in Switzerland billed as a “peace summit” for Ukraine.
But Russia was not in attendance. The summit failed to reach a consensus on a final statement. And the way forward on a peace process remains totally unclear, with Russia and Ukraine drawing intersecting red lines on territory and security.
So after over two years of war, what do Ukrainians feel like the path is to ending it?
How are they coping with mounting losses and strains on resources?
And what would they – and Russia – be willing to sacrifice to finally reach peace?
CBC’s Briar Stewart brings us the view from the northeastern city of Kharkiv, where Russia began a new offensive last month.
