London to host fresh Russia-Ukraine ceasefire talks
Diplomats from the UK, France, Germany, Ukraine and the US will hold fresh talks in London on Wednesday aimed at securing a ceasefire in the three-year war between Ukraine and Russia.
The talks come amid growing speculation that Russia might be willing to halt its invasion along current front lines in return for significant concessions.
The pace of diplomatic efforts to end the war is quickening but there is little clarity about where they are heading or whether they will succeed.
US President Donald Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, and his Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, had been expected in London but they pulled out, sending Trump’s Ukraine envoy, Gen Keith Kellogg, instead.
On Tuesday evening Rubio spoke to UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy about what he hoped would be “substantive and good technical meetings”.
