[British Media Reports Unsuccessful Attempts at Contact Between Britain and Russia] ⑴ British Prime Minister Starmer's National Security Advisor, Jonathan Powell, attempted to establish contact with the Russian government but was unsuccessful. ⑵ Earlier this year, Powell called Russian Presidential Aide Yuri Ushakov to convey the UK's and the EU's position. ⑶ This call came against the backdrop of European concerns about Trump's wavering stance on Ukraine. ⑷ Sources say the talks did not go "very smoothly." ⑸ Russia stated that the peace process stalled because Ukraine was "incited" by some European countries. ⑹ Russian Presidential Press Secretary Peskov stated that Russia remains willing to resolve the issue through political and diplomatic means.
