UPDATE: Russia has rejected recent amendments proposed by Ukraine and European allies to the United States’ peace plan, stating they do not enhance the prospects for a resolution to the ongoing conflict. In a statement today, Jurij Ušakov, advisor to Russian President Vladimir Putin, emphasized that the modifications will not lead to long-term peace.
Ušakov’s comments come as Ukraine and its European partners have been working for nearly a month to revise the initial US draft presented in November, which they deemed too favorable to Russia. The details of these proposed changes remain unclear, but the urgency for a viable solution is escalating.
This development follows a significant meeting in Miami over the weekend, where Russian negotiators engaged with US officials led by special envoy Steve Biegun and Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law. Ušakov noted that discussions were constructive and that negotiations would continue today.
However, he confirmed that a trilateral meeting involving Russia, the United States, and Ukraine was not on the agenda. The lack of further dialogue raises concerns about the future of peace efforts in the region.
As tensions persist, the international community watches closely. The implications of Ušakov’s remarks could further complicate an already fragile situation, leaving millions in uncertainty. What comes next remains crucial as the world waits for updates on the ongoing negotiations.
Stay tuned for more updates as this story develops.
