## Prediction

In the next seven days, intermediaries linked to U.S. political figures (such as Kushner and Witkoff) are likely to crystallize a set of informal framework points for potential Russia–Ukraine talks, circulating them quietly among key capitals. These will likely include phased ceasefire options, territorial standstill lines, and sanctions relief contours, but will fall short of any formal negotiation. The existence of such a framework, even unofficially, will influence European debates—especially in Germany—over long-term military versus diplomatic strategies, potentially widening intra-EU fractures. Confirmation would be credible leaks or media reports describing draft parameters; denial would be sharp public repudiations by Moscow or Kyiv of any such ‘back channel’ concepts.

## Drivers

- Kremlin openness to resuming trilateral talks after U.S. envoy visits
- Emerging trend of 'Trump envoy shuttle diplomacy' reframing the war as a negotiation problem
- Far-right and war-fatigued segments in Europe seeking alternative endgame paths
