  Western Split Deepens

  The hardest part of the negotiation shifts from Kyiv-Moscow language to Western enforcement, sanctions, and security guarantees. The United States, Germany, France, Poland, and Baltic governments diverge over how much to concede to Russia and what guarantees Ukraine should receive.
