U.S. President Donald Trump, who had accused Ukraine of not being sufficiently grateful for U.S. military support while the talks were underway, on Monday suggested the process could be moving in the right direction. “Is it really possible that big progress is being made in Peace Talks between Russia and Ukraine??? Don’t believe it until you see it, but something good just may be happening,” he wrote on social media. Trump earlier gave Ukraine until Thursday to agree to the plan, but U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio downplayed the deadline, saying officials could keep negotiating. But Russian officials still haven’t seen the revised peace plan, a Kremlin spokesperson said. Dmitry Peskov added there was currently no plan for U.S. and Russian delegations to meet this week, but the Russian side remained “open for such contacts.” Yuri Ushakov, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s foreign affairs adviser, said the plan the Kremlin had received before the Geneva talks had many provisions that “seem quite acceptable” to Moscow. But he described European proposals “floating around” as “completely unconstructive.”British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Ukraine’s allies in the “coalition of the willing” — a broad term for about 30 countries supporting Kyiv — will hold talks about the negotiations on Tuesday by video.

It will move forward at most in smaller steps this week. I do not expect there to be a breakthrough this week.” NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte on Monday told Fox News that Russia might need a deal and asserted that it doesn’t have battlefield momentum. “Russians are indeed not in a good place. Russians have gained 1% of Ukrainian territory so far this year, so this is a few yards,” Rutte said. Turkey also hopes to build bridges between Russia and Ukraine.
