Rosenberg: Russia agrees to Ukraine talks but sees little to talk about in new peace push
Europe2 sources1 country🔦 Under-reported56m ago
Russia has agreed in principle to resume peace talks with Ukraine following a call from the United States, with US President Donald Trump stating that the world is now the closest it has been to ending the conflict. Despite this diplomatic engagement, Russia launched a massive missile bombardment targeting Kyiv's energy infrastructure.
BBC Russia Editor Steve Rosenberg notes that President Vladimir Putin currently feels no pressure to end the war, and Moscow reportedly sees little substance to discuss in the new peace push. Analysts suggest the timing of the strikes demonstrates Russia's intent to cripple Ukraine's power grid ahead of winter, while experts argue that current US diplomatic approaches will not achieve lasting peace.
