Why is it important? According to the U.S. State Department, recent high-level talks between White House special envoy Steve Witkoff and President Putin have moved the peace process forward. Yet many Ukrainian analysts remain skeptical. russia continues to press for territorial concessions, while signaling no intent to scale back its claims. Meanwhile, China has shown increased interest in shaping the negotiation framework, and is now calling for stronger EU participation in any future settlement. The briefing will examine the potential impact of these diplomatic shifts on Ukraine’s national interests. |
