US and European officials are discussing possible peace talks with Russia with Ukrainian authorities. NBC News reported this on November 4, citing unnamed American officials.

It was noted that during the talks, they discussed, in particular, what Ukraine could give up in order to reach an agreement.

One of these “delicate” discussions took place last month at a meeting of the Contact Group on the Defense of Ukraine in the Ramstein format, channel interlocutors reported.

They added that the talks reflected the military dynamics on the front in Ukraine and the political situation in the United States and Europe.

“The discussions come amid concerns among US and European officials about the stalemate in the war and the ability to continue providing aid to Ukraine. Biden administration officials are also concerned that Ukraine is running out of of strength, while how Russia seems to have endless supplies, “officials. said.

The US government is concerned about how little public attention the war in Ukraine has received since the Israeli-Hamas war broke out nearly a month ago, officials said. Officials fear the change could make it harder for Kyiv to receive additional aid.

The officials also noted that it is likely that Ukraine will have until the end of the year or slightly longer before more urgent discussions on peace talks begin. An “incentive” for Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky to consider a dialogue with the Kremlin could be “certain security guarantees” from NATO, even if Kyiv is not formally part of the alliance.

At the same time, the Biden administration has given no indication that Russian President Vladimir Putin is ready for talks with Ukraine.

According to NBC’s interlocutors, the Russian leader still believes he can “wait out the West,” or continue fighting until the United States and its allies lose domestic support for funding Ukraine, or until supplies of arms and ammunition to Kiev become too expensive.

The day before, Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said that Ukraine is not conducting any negotiations “behind closed doors” with Russia.
