Moscow (Eurotoday Newspaper) – Dmitry Peskov, a spokesman for the Kremlin, stated on Tuesday that no quick progress in talks with Ukraine should be anticipated. Nonetheless, he stated that “work is underway” while Moscow awaits a response to its memorandum delivered to Kyiv and that “some agreements” were struck during the most recent round of negotiations yesterday.
In their second round of bilateral peace negotiations in less than two weeks, Russian and Ukrainian representatives met Monday, but authorities claimed they made little headway in resolving the three-year-old conflict other than agreeing to exchange thousands of their dead and critically injured soldiers.
Why is a Putin-Zelensky-Trump summit unlikely soon?
Peskov stated that it is “unlikely in the near future” that Russian President Vladimir Putin, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and US President Donald Trump will meet because Putin maintains that head-of-state meetings must adhere to expert-level accords.
Peskov also stated that there are no preparations for Putin and Trump to speak over the phone, although he did say that lines of contact with the US are still open.
How much progress was made in recent negotiations?
The Ukrainian delegation said that Russia had brought a blank”>text outlining the Kremlin’s conditions for halting hostilities to the negotiation table. The Ukrainian delegation’s leader, Defense Minister Rustem Umerov, told reporters that Kyiv officials would need a week to examine the paper and make a decision. According to him, Ukraine suggested holding more discussions on a date between June 20 and June 30.
What terms has Russia proposed in the ceasefire memo?
Following the negotiations, the Russian memorandum’s wording was released by Russian state news agencies Tass and RIA Novosti. It recommended that Ukraine remove its troops from the four areas that Russia acquired in September 2022 but never completely seized in exchange for a ceasefire.
The pact calls for Ukraine to stop its mobilization efforts and suspend Western weaponry sales, something Russian President Vladimir Putin has previously proposed as a means of achieving a truce. As a condition for ending hostilities, the memo further recommends that Ukraine prohibit any military presence of other nations on its territory and cease any repositioning of soldiers.

Talk about a thrilling negotiation strategy—it’s like watching paint dry but with a side of geopolitical drama. I suppose “slow and steady wins the race” applies only if you fancy a nice long stroll through a minefield. 😏
