Russian and U.S. officials are talking again and setting the stage for summit meeting.

Putin appears closer than ever to cementing Moscow 's gains of about a fifth of Ukraine ’s territory and keeping it out of NATO .

Putin invaded on Feb. 24, 2022 , after demanding that NATO abandon membership for Ukraine .

Putin ruled out a truce, arguing it would benefit Kyiv.

Some Kremlin -watchers believe he could accept it if Kyiv agrees to hold elections after a ceasefire.

Putin 's key goals remain much the same: Ukraine renounce joining NATO and enforce the use of the Russian language to keep the country in Moscow ’s orbit.
