Ukraine-Russia backchannels on wartime/humanitarian issues. Most of the wartime bartering is done directly, intermediaries are a fallback.

“If we can do it ourselves, then we will resolve it,” Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak said.

Growing opposition in US & Europe to more taxpayer $ for Ukraine raises Q: What about giving Kyiv ~$300B Russia has stored in the West?

BUT best case scenario would take months & months - likely +1 yr - to work

So not an answer to short-term needs

I'll never forget the victims of the Hroza attack at the Kharkiv morgue — almost all civilians. I saw only one body in military uniform. I saw a small boy, his little toes sticking out of his socks. A woman with a French manicure. Bodies without heads. washingtonpost.com/world/2023/10/…

On the counteroffensive front, 8 Russians enter a dugout. A Ukrainian pilot strapped a fuel bomb to a lo-fi, ultra maneuverable drone and sent it aloft.

The target was tight -- a meter by a meter.
