As a ceasefire was declared in the Middle East, Volodymyr Zelenskyy sought to draw attention to the war in his own country, posting on social media that Ukraine had consistently pushed for a ceasefire in the war “being waged by Russia here, in Europe”.
Efforts to end the war in Ukraine have largely stalled since the Iran war began, with trilateral talks between Kyiv, Moscow and Washington, which had already yielded little, frozen since February 2026. The war, meanwhile, has continued, with air attacks on Ukrainian cities and heavy fighting on the battlefields as Russia launches a spring offensive.
A possible visit to Kyiv this month by the White House envoy Steve Witkoff and Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, which would be their first since negotiations began, may help to reboot talks to end the conflict. But the war in Iran has exposed divisions between Washington and its European allies more starkly than at any point since Russia’s full-scale invasion in early 2022 and fuelled concerns in Europe over the depth of US commitment to any potential peace deal.
One European official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said: “You can see Trump’s team is running out of patience in Ukraine and wants a quick solution.”
