Diplomats from the United Kingdom, Germany, and France convened with Russian Deputy Foreign Ministry officials in Moscow as part of a revived diplomatic initiative aimed at tackling the ongoing war in Ukraine. This gathering represents one of the rare instances of direct high-level discussions between significant European nations and Russia since the onset of the conflict. Russian representatives indicated they shared their views on Western strategies, including backing for Ukraine via the Coalition of the Willing. These discussions occur alongside distinct US diplomatic efforts, underscoring the increasing global pressure to seek a negotiated settlement.
