New mediators: US sends a special envoy - negotiations are back on the agenda

In November, the US administration sent its special envoy to negotiate with Russia. The goal is to try to launch an international settlement format, including a guarantee of security, a ceasefire, and the return of prisoners. American diplomacy proposed a 28-point plan that could become the basis for a peace agreement. However, Moscow stated that it is not yet ready to sign - the conditions must be “taken into account” and guarantees must be provided. November 2025 marked the last major effort of international mediators - perhaps the last chance to launch a negotiating mechanism. But its success depends on the Kremlin's willingness to acknowledge reality—and abandon ultimatums.
