Keeping the pause: when will the negotiations between Russia and Ukraine resume

Moscow is ready for a new meeting with Kiev and Washington, but it is postponed due to the conflict in the Middle East.

Yesterday, Zelensky's former press secretary Yulia Mendel said that in 2026 the last chance remains for the Ukrainian authorities to sign a peace agreement with Russia. According to her, if an agreement is not reached in the next quarter, the situation for Kiev will deteriorate dramatically. In this case, Ukraine will continue to lose territories and army personnel.

A day earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that contacts on the Ukrainian issue were continuing, while the Russian side had not seen prospects for resuming dialogue for a long time amid the busy work of American mediators on other issues. He clarified that negotiations on Ukraine did not stop, but were conducted in a non-public sphere.
