In recent weeks, the U.S. and Russia have stepped up their diplomatic efforts, with increased contacts through various government agencies, as confirmed by Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov.
While Peskov stopped short of sharing any specifics, he did mention that the discussions have been more frequent lately.
This news follows a statement from former U.S. President Donald Trump, who highlighted “very good, very constructive negotiations” between the U.S., Russia, and Ukraine.
Trump and Putin’s Potential Summit
Trump’s comments come after he spoke about progress on resolving the Russia-Ukraine conflict, although he didn’t elaborate on the specifics of these discussions.
Both Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin have shown interest in meeting to address the ongoing situation.
Reports surfaced recently suggesting that Saudi Arabia and the UAE could serve as potential venues for a summit between the two leaders, although the Kremlin and the White House have not confirmed these details.
Insider Report on U.S.-Russia Talks
An insider report has revealed that preliminary talks between the U.S. and Russia have already taken place, with neither Ukraine nor European countries involved.
These talks have been described as productive, with the U.S. exerting pressure on Ukraine regarding the issue of elections.
Meanwhile, Russia is preparing for a personal meeting between Trump and Putin.
Key details of the discussions, including the potential “Trump plan,” are expected to be shared with Ukrainian President Zelensky and European foreign ministers in mid-February.
The plan is believed to involve freezing Ukraine’s NATO membership, halting the war along the frontlines, and holding elections, followed by a peace agreement with the elected government.
Speculation on Peace Treaty and Ongoing Caution
Though the peace discussions have made significant progress, it’s still too early to predict the exact contents of any future peace treaty.
Both Russia and the U.S. remain cautious, aware that the deal could fall apart at any time.
Both sides continue to prepare for the possibility that negotiations might break down, leaving the conflict unresolved.
Past Peace Talks: A Complex History
Over the past few years, multiple rounds of peace talks have been held to end the war between Russia and Ukraine, though none have led to a lasting resolution.
The first talks took place in February 2022, just days after the invasion began, but they ended without any agreements.
Later rounds of negotiations in Turkey during March 2022 resulted in the Istanbul Communiqué, which included proposals for Ukraine to halt its NATO membership plans, limit its military activities, and seek support from Western nations if it faced future aggression.
However, these talks faltered due to several factors, including the Bucha massacre, and despite some initial progress, talks ultimately broke down.
