The main issue addressed should be Russia leaving sovereign Ukrainian soil as well as warrants for war crimes being processed.
Nothing less.

I've heard rumblings about Ukraine retaking territory but this is the first mainstream article that quantifies it (at least that I've seen). The source is France24:
Ukraine made fastest battlefield gain in 2.5 years last week, new data shows
Ukraine recaptured 201 square kilometres (78 square miles) from Russia between Wednesday and Sunday last week, leveraging a Starlink shutdown for Russian forces, according to an AFP analysis of data from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
The recaptured area is almost equivalent to the Russian gains for the entire month of December and is the most land retaken by Kyiv's forces in such a short period since a counter-offensive that began in June 2023.
"These Ukrainian counterattacks are likely leveraging the recent block on Russian forces' access to Starlink, which Russian milbloggers (military bloggers) have claimed is causing communications and command and control issues on the battlefield," the ISW, which collaborates with the Critical Threats Project, another US think-tank, stated.

A good and detailed report about Russia's current condition.
It is a rather long read, but put together with solid statistics.

The consequences of both: Russia invasion of Ukraine and US abandoning (even threatening) its former allies.
We may very well be heading to a (very dangerous) world with 20-30 nuclear powers, just because the actions of a single president.

Ukraine denies reports of secret multinational F-16 squadron
Ukraine’s Air Force on Tuesday rejected media reports claiming that a secret multinational F-16 fighter squadron composed of Ukrainian, American, and Dutch pilots had been established to defend Kyiv’s airspace, calling the information inaccurate and unsupported by evidence. The denial
I don't believe most people (well those who aren't pro-Russian) would care if it was the case.
