Ministerial-level Ukraine peace talks in London were postponed due to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s absence and speculation about potential shifts in Russia’s stance, despite ongoing violence in Ukraine.

The Kremlin’s spokesperson reiterated opposition to NATO peacekeepers, complicating the prospects for a broader agreement as Ukraine’s leadership firmly rejects any recognition of Crimea as Russian territory.
