Expecting a breakthrough was “naive,” Karasin said, and it will first require a breakthrough “on the ground” — meaning Russian military victories or a collapse of the Zelensky government in Kyiv.
Russia’s message to Trump: don’t expect a ceasefire in Ukraine anytime soon.
A positive outcome of ceasefire talks “won’t happen this year, or maybe at the end of the year,” said Grigori Karasin, the Russian negotiator at the latest talks in Riyadh.
