The likelihood of the US successfully brokering a Ukraine peace deal in the next few months has plummeted, according to senior Trump administration official.Despite boasting that he would end the war in 24 hours once he entered office,

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said the U.S. is not taking into account Russia's "main demand" to secure peace in its war on Ukraine, and so the Kremlin "cannot accept" American proposals as things stand.
