Finland’s president says Ukraine talks may be at ‘end of the road’

AI Summary

short article 1 min

Finnish President Alexander Stubb expressed concern that US-led peace talks between Ukraine and Russia may have stalled. In an interview published Thursday, Stubb suggested the halt could be due to the war in Iran diverting attention or the negotiations reaching an impasse, particularly regarding the Donetsk territories. He believes American negotiators have exhausted their efforts and that Russia may not be interested in peace. Stubb's comments align with other reports of stalled US-brokered talks between Moscow and Kyiv. A Ukrainian delegation visited the US last weekend seeking to revive negotiations, but without immediate success.
