Russia has expressed openness to hearing President-elect Donald Trump's proposals on ending the war in Ukraine. A Russian drone attack in the port city of Odesa resulted in one fatality and 13 injuries, while the European Union foreign policy chief held talks in Kyiv following the change in U.S. leadership.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov stated that Moscow and Washington were engaging in communication regarding Ukraine through private channels. He emphasized that Russia is willing to consider Trump's ideas for advancing the peace process in Ukraine, as long as they focus on settlement rather than bolstering the Kyiv regime with additional aid.
