Nicușor Dan expressed concerns that Russia aims to escalate the conflict in Ukraine rather than seeking peace, contradicting Putin's claims of readiness for negotiations. He emphasized the need for NATO to strengthen defenses against Russian provocations. Dan believes that Western allies must respond firmly to threats and prepare for hybrid warfare, including drone incursions and cyberattacks. Meanwhile, Putin announced willingness to resume trilateral talks with the U.S. and Ukraine, insisting on security guarantees and rejecting temporary ceasefires. The ongoing territorial disputes remain a significant barrier to peace negotiations.
