The Russian-Ukrainian conflict, according to a Kremlin representative, is moving toward its conclusion. As reported by RBC-Ukraine, this was stated by Russian Presidential Aide Yury Ushakov in a conversation with journalists from the Vesti news agency when asked about future prospects and the timeline for a settlement. According to him, it is difficult to name a precise time horizon, but the general dynamics, as he phrased it, indicate an approach to the finale of the conflict.

Statement on Vesti Broadcast

Commenting on the course of events, Ushakov admitted that determining the degree of proximity to completion is not easy. "I don't know how close we are approaching, but things are heading that way," RBC-Ukraine quotes him as saying. Thus, the Kremlin publicly fixed the position that the conflict is at a stage associated by the agency with movement toward a conclusion, while not naming specific dates or conditions.

Prospects and Timeline

The statement came in response to direct questions from journalists about when and under what circumstances the military confrontation might be stopped. The Kremlin did not tie its words to a specific calendar date, limiting itself to a general assessment of the trend. This allows the statement to be viewed as a political signal of Moscow's readiness to discuss ending the conflict, rather than as confirmation of agreements already reached.

Readiness for Negotiations

The context for Ushakov's statement was a previous meeting between Vladimir Putin and US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff. According to available data, during this conversation, the Russian leader stated Moscow's readiness to resume negotiations with Ukraine and Washington. Thus, the Kremlin's public rhetoric about the approaching end of the war coincides with a signal of readiness to return to the negotiating table with the participation of the American side.

G20 Summit Scenario

In parallel, information appeared in the media that US leader Donald Trump aims for Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin to sign a peace agreement at the G20 summit, which is reportedly scheduled to take place in December in Miami (Florida). If this scenario is realized, it involves formalizing agreements at the international summit venue, which will give the process high publicity and political significance.

Pressure Factors

At the same time, it is noted that the negotiations themselves may be conducted under pressure from Kyiv. This indicates that the conditions and pace of the settlement, according to observers, depend not only on the position of Moscow and Washington, but also on the readiness of the Ukrainian side to put forward and defend its demands. Taken together, the Kremlin's statements, signals of readiness for negotiations, and reports of a possible agreement signing at the G20 form a picture in which the parties publicly demonstrate movement toward ending the conflict, although the specific parameters and timelines remain a subject of discussion.
