US and Russian officials meet for high-stakes peace talks, without Ukraine

^{Published on 2025-02-18 08:00:54 - MSN}

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has warned that Kyiv would not accept any peace agreements made without its participation. View on euronews

The article from MSN discusses a significant diplomatic event where U.S. and Russian officials convened for high-stakes peace talks aimed at addressing the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, notably without the presence of Ukrainian representatives. The talks, held in a neutral location, focused on de-escalation strategies, potential ceasefires, and the broader implications for European security. Key points included discussions on reducing military tensions, the possibility of sanctions relief, and the framework for future negotiations that might involve Ukraine. The absence of Ukraine from these talks has raised concerns about the legitimacy and effectiveness of any agreements reached, with critics arguing that peace cannot be negotiated without the direct involvement of the affected nation. The outcome of these talks remains uncertain, with both sides expressing cautious optimism but also highlighting the complexity of the issues at hand.
