Is a deal being made in Ukraine?
Talks about a ceasefire or a peace deal start and stop often, and each side describes them differently. This page sums up every day what the governments of Ukraine and Russia, NATO and the United Nations say about talks, with a link to each statement.
Latest brief
Updated
The supplied publications do not show that a deal is being made. The only explicit report of talks is from the Russian presidency: it says President Vladimir Putin spoke by phone with Finland’s Alexander Stubb and Norway’s Jonas Gahr Støre at their request.
According to the Russian account, they discussed settlement of the Ukraine crisis, future negotiations, European security and a humanitarian operation. It does not say that Ukrainian representatives took part, that a ceasefire was agreed, or that a peace plan or deal was reached.
The other supplied items do not report talks or an agreement: the UN briefing summary mentions Ukraine among several updates and calls for renewed diplomatic engagement, while NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte’s speech urges continued support for Ukraine. These publications provide no Ukrainian government or President Zelenskyy account of the reported discussion.

Talks are not a deal
A meeting, a phone call or a draft plan is a step, not an agreement. A deal needs both governments to sign, and it needs a way to check that both sides keep it.
Look for what each side says it agreed to, in its own words. If only one side announces a breakthrough, wait for the other side’s statement.
The hard questions
Most proposals come back to the same questions:
- Where the line between the two sides would run.
- What security guarantees Ukraine gets, and from whom.
- What happens to sanctions on Russia.
- Who checks that a ceasefire holds.
