Russia said it's sending a delegation to Istanbul Monday for a second round of talks with Ukraine amid last-minute wrangling over Kyiv's insistence that Moscow outline its peace proposals before any meeting.
The warring sides have tussled over the parameters of negotiations after Turkey hosted the first direct negotiations between Russia and Ukraine since the early months of the war on May 16. Moscow didn't accept a US proposal for a 30-day ceasefire and used the meeting to repeat its maximalist demands to end its invasion, now in its fourth year.

Odd Lots: How Do We Define a Currency?
What is a currency? This turns out to be one of those questions we just kind of skip over because we don't have clear answers to it (and because economists often like to skip over these foundational things). This special episode of the Odd Lots podcast was recorded as part of Princeton University's 'How to Write the Biography of a Currency' event, hosted by the Princeton Economic History Workshop and the Julis-Rabinowitz Center for Public Policy & Finance. In this discussion, we talk about how we should define a currency and how that definition has changed (or not) over time. Our panelists were Iñaki Aldasoro, an economist at the Bank for International Settlements, Indiana University Bloomington Professor Rebecca Spang, and Stefan Ingves, the former head of the Sveriges Riksbank, the central bank of Sweden, from 2006 to 2022.

Neymar Explains Champions League Lore Ahead of PSG vs Inter Final originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Neymar has experience at the top level of soccer, having spent a decade in Europe. During his time at FC Barcelona and PSG, Neymar played in two Champions League Finals. Advertisement The Brazilian star experienced both outcomes in the Champions League Final. He won the UCL with Barcelona in 2015 and lost the final with PSG in 2020. Ahead of the Champions League Final, Neymar gave his personal experience of anticipating the final, which in many soccer fans' eyes is the biggest game of every season, every year. When asked what he did to prepare ahead of the Champions League final, Neymar mentioned how different both the 2015 and 2020 finals were for him. Neymar: "Oh, nothing, it was very calm for me. In the first final, I slept with my mother and my son the night before the match, woke up, went to the game, and we won the title. As for the other final, it was during the pandemic, so we stayed at the hotel, rested, went to the match, then met with the family, but unfortunately, we lost in the second final." Neymar on the Champions League competition Soccer fans know the importance of the Champions League, and many wonder if the players feel the lore of the competition before a big game in the tournament. Advertisement Neymar speaks on what it means to play in the Champions League, a competition many players wish to win. Neymar: "It's a unique feeling, an unmatched sensation. One of the best tournaments in the world, and to be there and live this experience is truly amazing. I think it's hard to explain the feeling when you hear the anthem, when you're listening to a match in the Champions League. It's amazing, truly amazing. Anyone who's had the chance to play in it knows exactly what I'm talking about." PSG and Inter Milan Stars on UCL Final PSG star Ousmane Dembele is on the verge of becoming the main candidate to win the Ballon d'Or.

When asked about potentially winning the Ballon d'Or award later this year, the French star spoke about what the final means to the team. Ousmane Dembele: "I'm not thinking about that [Ballon d'Or award]. The most important thing is winning the Champions League. I'm focused on the team, not individual awards." Inter striker Lautaro Martinez has experience in playing for important trophies in soccer. The Argentine star still has not won the Champions League trophy in his career, and he dreams of lifting it with Inter Milan, proving the importance of this trophy. Lautaro Martinez: "It's true, I've won many important things, a World Cup, the Copa América, several trophies with Inter. The Champions League is the one I'm missing, and it's a very important goal. I'm happy, proud, and excited to play another final. We'll try to play the perfect match.'
