Russia is developing a draft memorandum outlining conditions for a possible Ukraine peace accord, while warning that Finnish naval drills near its border reflect NATO escalation.

Russia is continuing to work on a draft memorandum that outlines key principles, potential timelines, and conditions for a ceasefire with Ukraine, according to Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova. The document, once finalized, will be presented to Ukraine and is part of President Vladimir Putin’s broader initiative to explore a negotiated end to the conflict, following a recent phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump.

In parallel, Russia has criticized Finnish naval exercises, labeling them as a NATO-driven escalation amid recent allegations by Finland that Russian aircraft violated its airspace. Moscow claims such drills threaten regional stability near its borders.
