Recent reports show Russia and Ukraine cooling on prospects for direct diplomatic talks, with both sides expressing skepticism toward US mediation even after Middle East conflicts subside, as Putin insists any Zelenskyy meeting would only finalize pre-agreed terms lacking Kyiv's political will. Ukraine's top negotiator Rustem Umerov met US officials on May 7 to discuss potential leader-level formats, while Zelenskyy proposed neutral venues like Azerbaijan or Turkey, but Kremlin statements on May 12 confirm no specifics on war-ending progress amid ongoing ceasefires, prisoner swaps, and frontline escalations. EU efforts to complement talks persist, though precondition gaps—territorial concessions versus full withdrawal—maintain stalemate, with no scheduled high-level bilateral summit.
