German, French, and British leaders loved playing diplomatic big shots with Kyiv while Washington was preoccupied with Iran, but their grandstanding made little difference.

German, French, and British leaders loved playing diplomatic big shots with Kyiv while Washington was preoccupied with Iran, but their grandstanding made little difference.

Jacob Wallenberg, chair of Investor AB, which holds a large stake in aerospace and defense company SAAB, says peace could lead to a “complacency” that prioritizes other needs over defense.

President Volodymyr Zelensky also accepted a U.S. proposal to hold another round of peace talks in Miami.

Kyiv insists the parties are edging closer to a deal, while Russia says the process has stalled due to an alleged January 1 strike by Ukrainian forces on a village in Kherson.

On Sunday morning, the U.S. Secretary of State landed in Geneva where American, Ukrainian, and European officials are gathering to discuss President Donald Trump’s peace plan.

Security Council Secretary Rustem Umerov said on Telegram representatives of Kyiv and Washington will meet in Switzerland “in the coming days.”

“No meeting between Zelensky and Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin is planned,” Sergei Lavrov said.

Permanent recognition of Russian-occupied territories is still “not up for discussion,” the German chancellor stressed.
