The last time Ukraine signed a peace accord with Russia, 10 years ago, it brought only sporadic violence, mounting distrust, and eventually full-scale war. Here’s what we can learn from that history.

U.S. officials were in Moscow for talks, and the Russian leader said he was open to a cease-fire, but President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine expressed skepticism.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that Russia agrees in principle with the U.S. ceasefire proposal, but the terms need to be worked out.

G7 nations emphasised on Friday the need for robust "security arrangements" to ensure a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia, warning Moscow to follow Kyiv in agreeing a ceasefire or face further sanctions,

The United States drew closer to its G7 allies on Friday, at least momentarily, to back Ukraine's territorial integrity and warn Russia to follow Kyiv in accepting a ceasefire or face possible further sanctions.

G7 countries warn Russia that new sanctions may be imposed if Moscow refuses to agree to a ceasefire, according to Reuters and The Guardian. The G7 statement still requires approval from foreign ministers at a meeting before the negotiations conclude.
