Russia Rejects Three-Way Summit, Presents Peace Terms for Ukraine

Russia Rejects Three-Way Summit, Presents Peace Terms for Ukraine Negotiations Finland – In a significant development in the ongoing Ukraine conflict, Russia has rejected a proposed three-way meeting involving Russian President Vladimir Putin, former US President Donald Trump, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Instead, Moscow announced it is preparing a detailed memorandum outlining its conditions for a peaceful resolution. This memorandum will be formally presented during the next round of planned negotiations. "Moscow has confirmed its readiness to present this memorandum to the Ukrainians," stated a news anchor on Al Arabiya, a prominent news outlet. "However, it is clear that the memorandum will reflect Russia's known and publicly stated positions, particularly the non-withdrawal of Russian forces from territories currently under their control." This decision comes as Ukraine has expressed its willingness to engage in further negotiations. However, Kyiv insists that Moscow should present its peace terms in advance to ensure the meeting's effectiveness and avoid unproductive discussions. The Ukrainian government's position reflects a need for clarity and transparency in the negotiation process. The situation remains tense, but the willingness of both sides to continue dialogue offers a glimmer of hope for a peaceful resolution to the conflict. The content of the Russian memorandum will be crucial in determining the next steps in the peace process.
