Russia-Ukraine talks: All the mediation efforts, and where they stand | Explainer News | Al Jazeera
Diplomatic efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war continue as multiple countries attempt to broker negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv. Since the conflict escalated, international mediators including Turkey, the United Nations, China and several European nations have explored different channels to encourage ceasefire agreements and long-term peace frameworks. While some talks have resulted in limited agreements, such as humanitarian corridors and grain export arrangements, a comprehensive political settlement remains out of reach. Key disagreements persist over territorial control, security guarantees and NATO-related concerns. Western nations continue to support Ukraine diplomatically and militarily, while Russia maintains its strategic demands. Recent back-channel discussions and renewed diplomatic outreach suggest that dialogue has not completely stalled, but trust deficits and battlefield developments complicate progress. Analysts believe any lasting peace deal will require compromise, strong international guarantees and sustained global diplomatic pressure to move negotiations forward.
