Marco Rubio, the US secretary of state, spoke of “substantial progress” after Ukraine-US talks in Geneva.

The sequence of contrasting events captured the grim essence of the outgoing year. By day, diplomatic battles are fought: hopeful statements are issued from Washington, London, Brussels and Kyiv.
