Kremlin Pauses Ukraine Peace Talks Citing U.S. Focus on Iran War

On April 6, 2026, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov announced that peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine are currently on pause because the United States has shifted its diplomatic and military focus to the conflict with Iran. Peskov claimed it is currently impossible to organize trilateral formats while Washington prioritizes its operations in the Middle East. Despite this statement, U.S. special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are still expected to visit Kyiv in mid-April.
