Not a single building remains intact. There's practically nothing left to rebuild.

Don't forget, Putin initially in 2022 sent his tanks to capture Kyiv, not Donetsk. To hope that his war against Ukraine will stop in Donbas is naive.

🇺🇦🇺🇸 Ukraine's key "red line" in negotiations with the US is the withdrawal of troops from Donbas, - Bild.
Zelenskyy is ready to discuss abandoning NATO membership, holding elections on a shortened timeline, and freezing the frontline.

A pocket of very warm air (relative to average) over the North Pole enabled highs to reach above freezing Sunday. Meanwhile temps in the Midwest struggled to get above zero.

Not often I agree with Gabriel Zucman, but he is right the "euro-sclerosis" thing is overdone. Europe has a long-term productivity issue it needs to handle, yes. It also has an industrial-heartlands/China problem. But the idea it is getting vastly poorer than the US is economically illiterate.
It has become received wisdom in Brussels and Washington that there is a new “euro-sclerosis”: that the EU economy is lagging the US
This view is wrong
A little primer on the measurement of productivity – and why reports of the economic death of Europe are greatly exaggerated🧵
