About the Latest Developments
Fresh comments from Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy suggest that diplomatic discussions remain active despite ongoing differences. Both sides have publicly discussed negotiation frameworks, ceasefire possibilities and the role of international participants in a potential peace process.
