Ukraine's Military Strategy and Diplomatic Opportunities.
Some U.S. and European officials believe that Ukraine's planned counteroffensive against Russia could create momentum for diplomacy, but they remain wary of any calls for an immediate cease-fire or peace talks, especially those coming from China. Ukrainian leaders say they will not agree to talks until they have pushed back Russian forces. President Biden's aides have been exploring potential endgames, trying to identify an outcome that could be acceptable to both Kyiv and Moscow if real peace talks started. However, it is unclear how the officials will define success in the counteroffensive, which could last many months, or how its outcome might affect their approach.
