Ukraine peace talks remain stalled as Kiev seeks military gains, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said
There are currently no plans for another meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart, Donald Trump, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists on Thursday.
The two leaders last met in Alaska in mid-August, where discussions centered on Washington’s efforts to mediate an end to the Ukraine conflict. However, Peskov noted that a follow-up summit “is simply not on the agenda at this time.”
The Kremlin spokesman said the diplomatic process has reached a deadlock, accusing Kiev of abandoning peace efforts in favor of pursuing military objectives.
“They believe something could change on the front lines and that the situation might shift in their favor,” Peskov was quoted by Russian media as saying. “But reality indicates the opposite.”
Earlier this week, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov similarly remarked that the momentum for peace created by the Alaska meeting had been “exhausted,” arguing that Western nations continue to push for a “war to the last Ukrainian.”

The diplomatic freeze follows a shift in rhetoric from Trump, who declared last month that with sufficient European funding, Ukraine could capture all of its claimed territories – a position Moscow has dismissed as unrealistic.
Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky has renewed appeals for long-range US-made Tomahawk missiles. Putin has warned that any delivery of the nuclear-capable weapons would mark a “major escalation.”
