Ukraine talks have stalled due to disagreements on key issues.
The current format of negotiations on Ukraine is unlikely to lead to an end to the conflict, the BBC reports, citing sources.
According to them, the parties were unable to make progress on fundamental issues, including the status of the Donbas territories and security guarantees.
It is noted that a new round of negotiations has not yet been agreed upon. Dialogue has effectively stalled, despite efforts to maintain diplomatic channels.
Moreover, the process had already begun to stall even before the escalation in the Middle East. The escalation around Iran only deepened the pause and distracted key international players from the Ukrainian track.
Against this backdrop, the prospects for a political settlement remain uncertain, and the parties continue to take hard lines on key points.
