Peace talks

Putin is in Kursk, and a US team travels to Moscow to discuss Ukraine.

President Donald Trump has announced that US officials will travel to Russia to discuss a possible ceasefire in Ukraine. Following a much-anticipated meeting with US officials in Saudi Arabia, Ukrainian leaders agreed to a 30-day truce. Secretary of State Marco Rubio had earlier stated that the “ball is truly in their [Russia’s] court” and that the United States thinks peace talks are the best option to end the conflict.
