The Kremlin said on Thursday that trilateral peace talks on Ukraine with the United States have entered a temporary pause. Russia's Izvestia newspaper earlier, citing Russian officials, reported that peace talks between the United States, Russia, and Ukraine are temporarily paused amid the US-Israeli war on Iran. The Iran war has diverted US attention from Ukraine and led to a rise in oil and gas prices. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov added that Russia hopes this pause will be temporary and that a new round of negotiations will be held. The newspaper stated that the Kremlin confirmed the temporary pause, noting that the war in Iran could push Kyiv toward reaching an agreement.
