Zelenskyy stated on October 6 that he sees no indications Russia is interested in direct peace talks or a ceasefire on energy infrastructure, amid intensified Russian strikes on Ukrainian cities and Ukrainian counterstrikes on Russian refineries. Putin has described all settlement proposals as still under consideration but stressed Moscow must prioritize its interests following recent Ukrainian attacks. Both leaders have referenced a possible trilateral format involving the United States at the December G20 summit in Miami, though Putin has avoided committing to an in-person bilateral meeting and continues to frame negotiations around Russian territorial and security demands. Ongoing escalation in drone and missile exchanges, combined with stalled diplomatic momentum, shapes trader assessments of whether a meeting occurs by any near-term resolution date.
