On the third anniversary of Russias full scale invasion of Ukraine, frontline medics Vladyslav and Anastasia Chumachenko reject the idea that peace talks between the U.S. and Russia will bring lasting peace.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine is still raging, but Vladyslav Chumachenko, a frontline medic, is already anticipating the next war.

Since the beginning of the day on February 24, a total of 69 combat engagements have taken place on the front line. The enemy is most active in the Pokrovsk direction, where it has already launched 20 attacks on Ukrainian positions,

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Monday that Russia was not opposed to Europe's involvement in Russia-U.S. peace talks aimed at settling the conflict in Ukraine, but noted that Brussels had long rejected any dialogue with Moscow.

Europe's participation in Ukraine peace talks will be needed but Moscow first wants to build trust with Washington, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Monday, while suggesting that a deal to end the conflict may still be far off.

The United States is reportedly nearing a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia, according to Steve Witkoff, the U.S. envoy to the Middle East. He said that any potential deal would require both territorial and economic concessions from both sides.

Russia wants a long-term peace deal over Ukraine that tackles what it regards as the root causes of the conflict and not a quick U.S.-backed ceasefire followed by a swift restart of fighting, a senior Russian diplomat told the RIA news agency.

It has been 3 years since Russia invaded Ukraine, but a change in America's Presidency has fast-tracked a potential peace agreement between the two sides. Trump has also sidelined key European NATO allies and Ukraine itself from these critical discussions.
