Quick Summary

Jared Kushner, US President Donald Trump's envoy, announced on November 12 that Russia and Ukraine have agreed to expand their next round of peace talks to include European nations, aiming to achieve the largest prisoner exchange since the beginning of Russia's war in Ukraine. The talks, brokered by the US, would also address broader European security arrangements and territorial issues between Ukraine and Russia. Although progress has been made, significant differences remain, particularly regarding territorial disputes, with Russia holding a fifth of Ukraine and Kyiv refusing to relinquish control of its eastern Donbas region.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
