Russia maintains firm demands for territorial control over the full Donbas region and other annexed areas as prerequisites for any settlement, while rejecting temporary ceasefires that would allow Ukrainian rearmament. Recent statements from Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov and President Vladimir Putin in August 2026 signal openness to new proposals aligned with "realities on the ground" and Putin's objectives, following stalled US-mediated trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi and Geneva earlier in the year. Those sessions ended without agreement on territory or security guarantees. US envoys have pursued shuttle diplomacy under the Trump administration, though efforts were interrupted by other priorities, leaving gaps between Moscow's maximalist positions and Kyiv's calls for a full halt to fighting plus credible assurances against future aggression.
