Russia and the United States are engaging in discussions to establish a ceasefire in Ukraine, following a meeting between Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin and US envoy Steve Witkoff. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov expressed cautious optimism, indicating that further talks between Putin and US President Donald Trump could occur after Trump receives Witkoff's report. Despite conditional support from Putin for a ceasefire, he emphasized the need for addressing the root causes of the crisis.

The US-proposed ceasefire, supported by Ukraine, suggests a 30-day halt in hostilities. This comes after successful talks in Saudi Arabia and the resumption of US military aid to Ukraine. However, the German government criticized Putin's approach as a delay tactic, questioning Russia's commitment to a lasting peace.

Meanwhile, fighting continues unabated. Russia reported territorial gains in the Kursk region, reversing Ukraine's summer offensive that had gained hundreds of square kilometers. The Ukrainian retreat marks the end of a seven-month occupation, leaving Ukraine without a bargaining chip. Ukraine's attacks on Russian energy facilities and missile depots have caused significant financial damage, with drone strikes reported in various regions.

Amidst these developments, the G7 foreign ministers convened, stressing the importance of unity and strength in achieving peace in Europe. The conflict persists as both sides seek leverage in ongoing negotiations, underscoring the complexity of reaching a durable resolution in the region.
