Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that reaching a peace agreement with the U.S. over the war in Ukraine remains challenging, though discussions continue.

At the EU Foreign Affairs Council in Luxembourg, Romanian Foreign Minister Emil Hurezeanu called for tougher sanctions on Russia, including measures against hybrid actions, and renewed support for Ukraine’s EU accession during the Polish Presidency.

Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski expressed shock at recent Russian attacks on Ukraine, calling them a "mocking answer" to Kyiv’s ceasefire commitment over a month ago.

The Kremlin described recent talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff in St. Petersburg as “extremely useful.”
