Kremlin talks peace but acts to undermine US statements

Russian President announced readiness to resume trilateral talks on Ukraine, aiming for a final peace treaty and future security guarantees, according to Russian media reports. The president's statement differed from officials' announcements the previous day, emphasizing a goal of ending hostilities permanently rather than just a ceasefire, while reiterating that Russians and Ukrainians are one people. He also stressed that agreeing on security guarantees requires broader discussions on the European security architecture, adding context to Moscow's stated position on the conflict.
