The ambassadors of France, Germany and Britain have attended a meeting at Russia’s Foreign Ministry, raising questions about a possible ceasefire between Moscow and Kyiv, or at least the resumption of peace talks.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said Mikhail Galuzin, Moscow’s Deputy Foreign Minister, received the diplomats “at their request,” in a post on X.
“The Ambassadors were presented with Russia’s objective assessment of their governments’ destructive policy on the Ukrainian crisis,” the Russian Foreign Ministry added.
In an accompanying video posted on X by the Ministry, French Ambassador Nicolas de Rivière describes the meeting as a “good discussion.”
“We will release the statement later today,” he adds.
The leaders of France, Germany and Britain, who head an informal security alliance called the E3 that is one of Ukraine's main sources of international support, met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in London last Sunday, where they said they supported his call for a ceasefire.
At the meeting in Downing Street, the four agreed that the current line of contact between Russian and Ukrainian forces should be the starting point for talks.
They also concurred that Ukraine should have legally binding security guarantees, including the deployment of a multinational force, and that frozen Russian financial assets would remain unreleased until Moscow compensated Kyiv for damage caused by the war.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has stuck to his hardline stance on the war, but he also suggested last week that U.S. President Donald Trump's proposals for peace could help end the fighting.
