While deadly battles continue across the front line, there is a sense of political movement. Trump is trying to force Putin to the table. Putin has expressed a readiness to talk — with the United States. Zelensky has impressed Trump with his willingness to negotiate a peace, but there is uneasiness in Kyiv over what the terms might look like. Meanwhile, Ukrainian society is exhausted and ready for peace, though not at any cost. Join two leaders from the Kyiv School of Economics, Tymofii Brik and Alexandra Vacroux, for a discussion of the state of play in Kyiv, and their thoughts on what 2025 may bring. ### This event is organized by [The Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies](https://daviscenter.fas.harvard.edu/) at Harvard University and co-sponsored by the [Ukrainian Research Institute](https://www.huri.harvard.edu/) at Harvard University. ### For more information please follow the [link](https://daviscenter.fas.harvard.edu/events/update-kyiv).
