Ukraine Peace Talks Stall While Putin Softens Rhetoric on EU Membership

Meeting Slovakia’s prime minister in Beijing, Putin claimed Russia never opposed Ukraine’s European Union ambitions, while firmly rejecting NATO membership as a red line. The remarks appear calibrated to temper tensions amid ongoing, stalled peace negotiations. Western leaders—particularly from Finland and NATO—pushed back, warning of Russia’s growing military reach and diminishing credibility. At the same time, regional diplomacy is heating up: Poland plans talks between its president and the U.S. president, and Zelenskyy is set to engage European leaders in Paris over security guarantees. Despite these diplomatic overtures, deep mistrust continues to constrain meaningful progress.
