There are a couple of notable reports on Ukraine today and both point to a near-term conclusion of the war.
The first is from Reuters, which reports that Russia could agree to using part of the $300 billion of sovereign assets frozen in Europe for reconstruction in Ukraine but will insist that part of the money is spent on the one-fifth of the country that’s controlled by Russia.
