Whereas, ‘take’ is not an exact synonym for ‘nick’. Potentially easy clue made unnecessarily tricky, I feel.

Ceasefire too is a bit woolly, with no full definition – ‘end of activities (what activities, precisely?) agreed’. An attempted &lit that doesn’t work.

20d is nick – to take/steal, and to be in good nick (health)
Radian has 26d spot on!
