Efforts for peace led by the Trump administration face significant challenges as Putin remains inflexible in negotiations, threatening attacks on foreign troops in Ukraine. The Kremlin insists on control over four Ukrainian regions, despite lacking full control. Putin rejected the deployment of international peacekeeping forces, viewing it as an escalation of conflict. Meanwhile, discussions in Moscow aimed to involve European states in future negotiations. The EU's Kaja Kallas emphasized that existing security agreements must be respected before discussing new frameworks. The appointment of a single negotiator for Europe remains contentious, with leaders prioritizing concrete objectives over personnel decisions.
