Russia plays hardball on Ukraine peace discussions after Trump talks of Putin contact

Russia's foreign minister stated that all of President Vladimir Putin's conditions must be met before the war in Ukraine can end, indicating a tough stance in negotiations with U.S. President Donald Trump.
Putin's conditions include Ukraine dropping its NATO ambitions and withdrawing troops from four regions claimed by Russia, which Kyiv views as surrender.
Trump expressed a desire to end the war quickly but has not provided a clear plan, while he mentioned he believed he was making progress in ending the war.
Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov emphasized that a political solution requires full implementation of Putin's stated terms from June, warning against half-measures.
