Russia, US discuss ‘next steps’ on Ukraine
The Kremlin announced that Russia and the United States have engaged in discussions regarding the "next steps" toward ending the war in Ukraine. This follows a proposal by the US for a cessation of hostilities after talks in Saudi Arabia, a proposal to which Kyiv has agreed.
While Russian President Vladimir Putin has not given a definitive response, he has outlined several conditions and expressed "serious questions" regarding the proposed ceasefire. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused the Kremlin of delaying peace efforts to improve their military position. A recent call between US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov addressed "concrete aspects" from a US-Russia summit in Riyadh last month, marking the first high-level meeting since the invasion and signaling ongoing efforts to find a resolution.
