- Petr Pavel said on Tuesday that President Trump’s diesel deal with Russia derailed peace talks between the Kremlin and Ukraine.
- Petr Pavel described both sides as “so close” to a ceasefire, while saying reaching one would be “much harder now.”
Why it matters: Pavel’s Tuesday remarks matter for Ukraine and Russia because he says the two sides were “so close” to a ceasefire before Trump’s diesel deal derailed the talks. His conclusion that the remaining path is “much harder” assigns the setback to the agreement while presenting both negotiating parties as close to agreement.
