Regional coverage highlights Ukraine’s push for deeper US involvement in shaping future peace talks with Russia. Zelenskiy is portrayed as waiting for concrete US proposals on new formats, suggesting Kyiv wants Washington to help design or host any next round of talks. The expectation is that stronger US engagement could give Ukraine more leverage in negotiations and help lock in security guarantees.
Russian outlets present Moscow as ready for broad talks with the United States, including on Ukraine, while refusing to let disputes over diplomatic property derail contacts. They stress that Russia has already drafted proposals to a US plan on Ukraine and is willing to work from the Anchorage understandings as a base. The expectation is that Washington should now respond seriously to these ideas if it wants progress on both Ukraine and bilateral issues.

Readers cannot tell whether future talks will be driven more by Moscow or by a US–Ukraine partnership.

No block reports the content of Russia’s proposals to the US plan on Ukraine or the exact nature of the US ideas Zelenskiy expects, making it impossible to judge how far apart the sides are on core issues like territory and security guarantees.

On 24 May 2026, Russia’s Foreign Ministry said it has prepared proposals responding to a US plan on Ukraine while still seeing no reason to slow political dialogue with Washington. Moscow also says talks with the United States over seized diplomatic property remain at a stalemate but should not block wider contacts, as it signals readiness to negotiate on the basis of earlier Anchorage understandings. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy says he expects fresh US ideas on new formats for peace talks, linking Washington’s role to any future settlement with Moscow.
