The Russian president detailed discussions involving proposals to halt long-range strikes, an initiative that would confine active combat to the disputed territories. Despite these overtures, Kyiv maintains that such territorial annexations are illegal, refusing to concede sovereignty over the occupied zones. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed that this stance has remained static throughout 2024, signaling that Moscow has no intention of softening its primary conditions.
Diplomatic maneuvering continues on the periphery, with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko reportedly involved in the ongoing dialogue. His participation gains additional weight as he prepares for a diplomatic visit to China, though the central friction between Russian demands and Ukrainian territorial integrity appears to leave little room for immediate progress.
