Two months into the Russia-Ukraine War, and the battle still continues. This video helps explain why the parties have not yet reached a settlement. War is best thought of as bargaining failure, which can happen as a consequence of differing expectations of what will happen in the event of a conflict. Russia's failure to take Kyiv provided helpful information. But it hasn't completely resolved the information asymmetry.
