Finally, we hear actual legal terms. Thank you @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu
As someone who studied EU Policy, I appreciate this.
My question is though - how stable is any ceasefire if Russia is entitled to keep what they occupied even if the change to actual, legal UA borders isn’t recognized?

Wait till Trump finds out how the multiplier effect of tariffs really work. Tariffs cement increased prices for the tariffed goods AND, where applicable, prices of the locally produced equivalent.
The supply/retail chains are not walking back on a windfall profits now that sourcing will be cheaper.

I think Trump needs to keep telling people from his gilded palace that grocery prices are way down, housing and electricity prices are down, and everything is great because of his genius. They seem to like that.
