💨 Abstract

Russia is waiting for Ukraine to signal its readiness for direct negotiations to end the ongoing war, but has not seen any signs of movement yet. The possibility of direct talks was discussed during a meeting between President Vladimir Putin and U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff last week. Ukraine has a legal ban on negotiations with Putin, and President Volodymyr Zelensky has stated that Kyiv would be ready for talks once a ceasefire deal is in place.
