🇷🇺 In short, this was yet another case of the ball being tossed back—formally accepting the idea of negotiations, but strictly on their own terms and at a venue of their choosing.

There was no agreement to the ultimatum issued earlier today by Western nations demanding an unconditional ceasefire.

Most likely, Ukraine and the EU will reject the terms laid out today, which means the situation will simply continue as before, with no major changes on the horizon.
