Kremlin Insists Russia-US Peace Efforts on Ukraine Remain Active

Demonstrators attend a protest in solidarity with Ukraine, ahead of the meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, in Anchorage, Alaska.

The Kremlin has rejected claims that diplomatic momentum between Russia and the United States to end the war in Ukraine has run out. Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov stated that ongoing dialogue with Washington continues, despite remarks from Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov suggesting otherwise.

Ryabkov had argued that the progress made during the August summit in Anchorage between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump had been “largely exhausted,” blaming European allies of Ukraine for undermining peace efforts. Ushakov, however, countered that such claims were “completely incorrect,” stressing that Moscow and Washington are still working on the basis of agreements reached at the summit.

While the Anchorage meeting failed to deliver a breakthrough, Moscow has emphasized that it remains open to a diplomatic settlement. At the same time, Russian officials have warned that military operations will continue if no peace deal is reached. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has repeatedly voiced skepticism about Russia’s intentions, accusing Moscow of stalling negotiations to prolong the conflict.
