Ukraine has conceded that despite the firepower it devoted to hold Bakhmut, where tens of thousands are believed to have died, Russia now controls nearly the entire city. Ukraine says its forces are shifting their focus to make it difficult for Russia to hold Bakhmut or move deeper into the country.

Wagner’s leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, suggested that Russia’s regular soldiers could expect no more help from the group in Bakhmut. In a three-minute video, Prigozhin is shown visiting what he says are Wagner positions in the city and telling his fighters to hand them over to Russian troops. “Leave them soap, but take away your toothbrushes,” he says.

It likely means, in the big picture, a certain amount of consistency. Erdogan has effectively been the most powerful politician in the country for 20 years. It’s unlikely that he is going to get re-elected and then drastically change course. For domestic opponents, for political dissidents, for members of the L.G.B.T.Q. community, there’s a lot of fear that some of the erosion of democratic norms that he has overseen is going to continue.

Still, Erdogan has played this interesting broker role. He is this rare figure in NATO who meets regularly with the president of the enemy nation. He talks to Putin, and he talks to Zelensky. If he wins, I would imagine that the response in Western capitals will not be one of joy but of “OK, we’ll keep trying to manage this as we were.”
