On the 1,655th day of a war that has reshaped the architecture of European security, American envoys prepared to carry a peace proposal between Moscow and Kyiv — even as both capitals continued to strike each other with drones and missiles. Zelenskyy called for a mutual halt to air attacks during the diplomatic visit, a gesture that was answered, within hours, by a precision drone strike on Ukraine's own intelligence headquarters. The distance between a ceasefire proposal and a ceasefire remains, as it so often does in war, the longest distance of all.
