The next phase of peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine could take place in Geneva, according to US envoy for Ukraine Keith Kellogg.
Speaking to Fox News on Tuesday, Kellogg said the talks would move forward once Moscow submits its peace proposal, following a recent exchange of terms between the two sides.
Kellogg confirmed that Ukraine has already presented its proposal, while Russia is expected to deliver its own memorandum, a promise reportedly made during a phone call between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin over a week ago.
“The US will combine both proposals to identify common ground and acceptable compromises,” Kellogg said, adding that once Russia’s document is received, the next meeting will be scheduled.
While Switzerland is seen as the likely host for the talks, Russia has rejected the Vatican as a possible venue. This follows an earlier suggestion by Trump that the Holy See could act as a neutral location—an idea publicly dismissed by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
This comes after the first direct Russia-Ukraine talks since March 2022 were held in Istanbul earlier this month, leading to a prisoner exchange and an agreement to exchange written ceasefire proposals.
