"The Russians are open to beginning peace negotiations with the U.S. immediately to end the ongoing war in Ukraine.
“ 'We are ready to discuss the initiatives set out there in future contacts with the United States. Such contacts are already possible as early as today,” said Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.
"Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov also said U.S. negotiators were traveling to Russia to Russia Thursday and discussions were planned.
“ 'Negotiators are indeed flying in, and contacts are indeed planned,” Peskov told reporters. “We won’t get ahead of ourselves — we’ll talk about it afterward.”
"Ukraine agreed to a 30-day cease-fire proposal from the U.S. during talks in Saudi Arabia earlier this week between top officials from both nations. The U.S. said it would present the ceasefire proposal to Russia following the diplomatic breakthrough with Ukraine.
"President Donald Trump has made clear his intention to end the fighting in Ukraine and bring both countries to the negotiating table. Trump and Vice President JD Vance had a heated dispute last month with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House over American military aid to Ukraine and the chances of peace with Russia.
"Zelensky later issued a statement expressing regret for how the White House meeting turned out, opening the door for the peace negotiations. The confrontation caused the U.S. to temporarily halt military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine, which were both restored as part of the cease-fire deal." . . .
