Envoys from Washington, Kyiv and European nations gathered for talks in Britain on Wednesday amid a new US push to end Russia’s war in Ukraine, where a brief Easter truce was shattered by fresh air strikes.
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff is to visit Moscow this week, the White House has confirmed, in what would be his fourth trip to Russia since Trump took office.
The London meeting comes as US media reported that US President Donald Trump is ready to accept recognition of annexed land in Crimea as Russian territory.
The reports said the proposal was first raised at a similar meeting with European nations in Paris last week. Trump has since threatened to “take a pass” on efforts to end the conflict unless progress is made quickly.
UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy will lead Wednesday’s talks, which will be attended by US Ukraine envoy Keith Kellogg and Emmanuel Bonne, diplomatic adviser to French President Emmanuel Macron.
