On the 1,285th day of a war that has reshaped the architecture of European security, the continent is moving from declarations of solidarity to the drafting of concrete military plans — tens of thousands of troops, backed by American command infrastructure, positioned to guarantee whatever peace eventually arrives. Russia, meanwhile, continues to strike the lights out across Ukrainian cities, and Ukraine vows to strike deeper in return. What unfolds now is not merely a military conflict but a slow, grinding negotiation over the shape of the world that follows it.
