Ukrainian presidential chief of staff Kyrylo Budanov stated on August 27-28 that direct or trilateral talks with Russia, potentially including U.S. representatives, could resume in September as technical preparations advance, though he expects no quick breakthrough and anticipates fighting through winter. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov countered that negotiations remain on a “deep pause,” with Russian forces continuing offensives in eastern Ukraine and insisting Ukraine cede full control of Donetsk as a precondition. Last formal U.S.-mediated trilateral meetings occurred in February before stalling amid U.S. focus on Iran; Moscow rejects ceasefires or security guarantees short of its maximalist territorial demands, while Kyiv has floated proposals centered on a frontline ceasefire, economic zones, and EU/NATO-backed assurances. These contrasting signals, alongside ongoing battlefield developments and limited humanitarian contacts like prisoner swaps, shape trader assessments of near-term diplomatic momentum.
