Peace negotiations on Ukraine: record progress recorded in Berlin.

According to ТСН: Negotiations for ending Russian aggression against Ukraine have made significant progress. British Defense Minister John Healey summarized the results of 2025 on social media X.

Progress in diplomacy and the role of partners

Healey noted that there is an intensification of U.S. efforts towards achieving peace. Signals from Berlin have become particularly important.

We are at an important stage of this war. U.S. efforts for peace are advancing, and yesterday in Berlin, signals of progress in peace negotiations emerged that have progressed further than ever during this war.

Additionally, the minister reported that over 2025, allies in the Ramstein format have gathered military aid for Ukraine amounting to a record sum of 50 billion pounds sterling.

Readiness to deploy forces

The British minister emphasized that London is preparing for the period after the ceasefire. Currently, funding is ongoing for the training of British troops and aviation for their deployment on Ukrainian soil when stable peace is achieved.

Despite successes in diplomacy, the situation at the front remains tense. Healey warned that Vladimir Putin is not ceasing aggressive actions against Ukrainian cities, so the West cannot reduce its support.

We must intensify. We need to further strengthen our support to pressure Putin to make an agreement and to protect Ukrainians during the winter months.

It should be noted that previously, Volodymyr Zelensky indicated that Russia sees the next year as a time to continue large-scale combat actions, indicating a lack of real desire for peace on Moscow's part.

Earlier it was reported that for the first time since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, a lull in the fighting may become possible. After a series of intense diplomatic meetings in Berlin involving Ukraine, the U.S., and EU leaders, the parties announced real and concrete progress. The final moment of the two-day marathon was a joint phone call with Donald Trump.

Thus, diplomatic efforts on the international stage continue, and the situation may improve if all parties find a compromise. It is crucial that support for Ukraine from Western partners remains strong, as the security of both Ukraine and the entire European region depends on it.
