Assessment

model confidence: under Technical details

Read the full assessment

Russia, via Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, has confirmed its intent to exclude the European Union from trilateral talks on Ukraine, citing the bloc's stance on prolonging the conflict. Moscow seeks a lasting peace rather than a temporary ceasefire, rejecting any truce that would provide Ukraine with a 'respite'. This indicates a firm Russian position against immediate de-escalation and a preference for a US-Russia-China diplomatic framework.
