Where do the peace negotiations in Ukraine stand?

Asked 5 hours ago

Answer

Peace negotiations in Ukraine remain stalled, with ongoing diplomatic efforts but no concrete breakthrough. Russia insists on more preparatory talks before any summit, while Western leaders focus on security guarantees for Ukraine. Discussions include possible locations for direct talks, but active fighting and significant differences over terms persist. Security guarantees, potentially modeled after NATO's Article 5, are under debate, but details are unresolved.
