Overview

• Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told Russia's State Duma that the post‑Anchorage drive toward agreements is largely exhausted, according to state media reports.
• He blamed European actors for derailing progress and said U.S.–Russia relations are cracking with Washington responsible for the breakdown.
• U.S. officials are weighing whether to provide long‑range Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine, and President Donald Trump said he has "sort of made a decision."
• Ryabkov said Tomahawk deliveries would mark a qualitative shift but would not change Russia's determination to pursue its stated objectives, urging U.S. restraint.
• Ryabkov also asserted that Washington has not responded to President Vladimir Putin's proposal to extend current START limits for one year beyond 2026.
