Moscow is hoping for “some progress” in upcoming talks in Saudi Arabia, a Russian negotiator told state media ahead of Monday\u2019s meetings between U.S., Ukrainian, and Russian delegations. <\/p>\n

The U.S. is engaging in what U.S. envoy Keith Kellogg described as “shuttle diplomacy” to seek a resolution to the full-scale invasion, now in its fourth year, but Russia has already rejected a proposed 30-day unconditional ceasefire, instead offering only to halt aerial strikes on energy facilities.<\/p>\n

A Russian strike on Zaporizhzhia<\/a> late on March 21, mere days before the upcoming talks<\/a>, killed a family of three, drawing sharp condemnation from Ukrainian officials. The Ukrainian Air Force reported that Russia fired 179 drones in its latest wave of overnight attacks.<\/p>\n

Russian senator Grigory Karasin<\/a>, who will lead Moscow\u2019s delegation, told local Zvezda TV that he and FSB advisor Sergey Beseda would enter the negotiations with a “combative and constructive” approach. He did not specify what kind of progress Russia hoped to achieve. <\/p>\n

The selection of negotiators has raised questions, as neither Karasin nor Beseda are from Russia\u2019s key diplomatic institutions such as the Kremlin, foreign ministry, or defense ministry.<\/p>\n

Ukraine has accused Russia of insincerity in peace efforts, pointing to continued strikes despite President Vladimir Putin\u2019s recent claim that he ordered a halt to attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, White House envoy Steve Witkoff<\/a>, a close Trump ally, praised Putin in an interview with Tucker Carlson on March 22, calling him a “great” leader seeking to end the war. “I don\u2019t regard Putin as a bad guy,” Witkoff said. “That is a complicated situation, including war and all the ingredients that led up to it. It’s never just one person.”<\/p>\n
