Overview

  • Presidential aide Yuri Ushakov said Washington and Moscow are holding active discussions on a Ukraine settlement based on the August Anchorage understandings.
  • Ushakov said the Anchorage proposals were conveyed to Kyiv and were not welcomed by Ukraine.
  • Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said a new Trump–Putin summit could occur once extensive groundwork is done, but he offered no timeline.
  • A previously planned Budapest meeting was scrapped after U.S. objections to Russia’s tough terms and insistence on a ceasefire.
  • The U.S. has pressured Moscow with sanctions on Rosneft and Lukoil and is weighing a bill to penalize Russian trading partners, which the Kremlin criticized.
