Oleksandr Kyselov, a Ukrainian left-wing writer and activist, discusses how the so-called peace plans for Ukraine are often more about imperial bargaining than true restitution. Alyssa Oursler, a journalist and International Women’s Media Foundation fellow, shares harrowing on-the-ground stories from Kyiv, including how Ukrainians perceive the peace negotiations and the profound personal tragedies they've faced. Together, they analyze the implications of international diplomacy, the human costs of conflict, and what a real peace might look like.
