A meeting between US and Ukrainian representatives in Saudi Arabia raises hopes for a temporary ceasefire in Ukraine, but Russia remains resistant. Russian officials describe any ceasefire proposal as 'hasty' and outline that peace talks must consider Russia's interests. Analysts suggest that Moscow aims to expand its influence in Ukraine and eliminate NATO's presence in Eastern Europe. Furthermore, Russia is unlikely to retreat from annexed Ukrainian territories, signifying the complexity of any potential negotiations and the enduring challenges to peace in the region.
Russia demonstrates little interest in peace talks and insists any settlement must respect its 'legitimate interests', rejecting proposals for a bipartisan ceasefire.
Experts indicate Moscow's desire to extend influence over Ukraine and remove NATO's presence from Eastern Europe, emphasizing its unyielding stance on Ukrainian sovereignty.
