Diplomats face an uphill battle to reconcile Russian and Ukrainian red lines as a renewed US-led push to end the war gathers steam, with Ukrainian officials attending talks in the US over the weekend and Washington officials expected in Moscow early this week.
US President Donald Trump’s peace plan became public last month, sparking alarm that it was too favourable to Moscow. It was revised some following talks in Geneva between the US and Ukraine a week ago.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said the revised plan could be workable. Russian President Vladimir Putin called it a possible basis for a future peace agreement. Trump said Sunday there’s a good chance we can make a deal.
Still, officials on both sides indicated a long road ahead as key sticking points over whether Kyiv should cede land to Moscow and how to ensure Ukraine’s future security appear unresolved.
A look at where things stand and what to expect this week:
US holds talks with Kyiv then Moscow
