Russian leadership is growing skeptical about continuing diplomatic negotiations with Ukraine through U.S. mediation unless Ukrainian officials indicate willingness to surrender land as part of any peace agreement, according to a Bloomberg News report published Saturday that cited sources with knowledge of the situation.
The news outlet indicated that diplomatic meetings planned for the coming week will be pivotal in establishing whether both nations can progress toward a comprehensive agreement to conclude the ongoing conflict.
Reuters noted it was unable to independently confirm the Bloomberg report’s claims.
