Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Tuesday that trilateral talks involving Ukraine, the United States, and Russia could occur within a week to 10 days, amid stalled U.S.-brokered peace efforts.
However, Dmitry Peskov clarified that no date has yet been set for the next round, noting that progress depends on specific actions from Kyiv. Peskov also stated that Russia’s special military operation objectives remain unfulfilled, though Moscow remains open to diplomacy.
In a televised address to the European Parliament in Brussels marking the conflict’s fourth anniversary, Zelenskyy called on EU allies to maintain support, pushing for tighter sanctions on Russia and increased military aid, especially air defense systems. He emphasized that EU membership would secure Ukraine’s future, aiming for readiness by 2027, and invited U.S. President Donald Trump to witness the situation firsthand. On the same day, Ukraine imposed sanctions on 29 Russian individuals and 15 entities.
Russia’s Foreign Ministry said any settlement requires addressing NATO expansion, with Peskov criticizing Western involvement for broadening the confrontation. Analysts note entrenched differences over disputed territories make a comprehensive settlement unlikely. Experts such as Wang Jin from Northwest University suggest phased approaches like ceasefires may be more realistic, while Cui Zheng from Liaoning University highlighted that sovereignty and security guarantees remain central, leaving limited room for compromise.
