The United Kingdom is set to host a new round of international talks on Wednesday regarding the Ukraine crisis, with participation from the United States, Ukraine, and several European countries, as part of a renewed U.S. initiative aimed at ending Russia’s war on Ukraine.
According to Agence France-Presse (AFP), the talks coincide with an upcoming visit to Moscow by U.S. Presidential Envoy Steve Witkoff later this week. This marks his fourth visit to Russia since President Donald Trump took office in January.
This round of talks is seen as part of a revived U.S. diplomatic push to seek a political solution to the conflict, which is now in its fourth year, amid rising international pressure and a worsening humanitarian situation in Ukraine.
In a notable development, media reports suggest that President Donald Trump may be willing to recognize Russian sovereignty over Crimea, which Moscow annexed in 2014. Such a move is likely to spark widespread international controversy and further complicate Western efforts to maintain a unified stance on the crisis.
