Russia Says Ukraine Peace Accord Still in Works

Russia’s foreign ministry announced on Tuesday that it is actively working on a draft memorandum outlining the key principles for a potential peace agreement to end the ongoing war in Ukraine.

This development follows a recent phone conversation between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump, during which Putin expressed Moscow’s readiness to engage with Ukraine on shaping the terms of a future peace deal.

Putin said the memorandum would define the principles of a possible settlement, the timing of a possible peace agreement and details about a possible ceasefire.

Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said work was continuing on the Russian draft and that once the document was ready it would be handed over to Ukraine.

“Russia continues to develop a draft memorandum on a future peace treaty, defining a number of positions, such as the principles of settlement, the timing of a possible peace agreement, and a potential ceasefire for a certain amount of time if appropriate agreements are reached,” she said.
