Russia's Reluctant Pause As explosions rocked the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, killing at least two people, it's clear that even well intentioned diplomatic efforts can't hold back the tide of war.
The recent three day pause in Russian strikes on Kyiv was seen as a gesture of goodwill by President Vladimir Putin ahead of visits to Moscow and Kyiv by US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
However, this brief lull in hostilities has given way to renewed violence, leaving many wondering what this means for Ukraine's future and the international community's efforts to broker peace.
