Kyiv-Moscow peace talks halted due to Ukraine's incursion into Russia's Kursk region.

Peace talks between Kyiv and Moscow, planned by Qatar, were halted after Ukraine's incursion into Russia's Kursk region on August 6. The negotiations aimed to discuss stopping attacks on each other's energy infrastructure and potentially lead to a ceasefire and end to the war. However, Russia postponed the talks, viewing the incursion as a provocation and escalation. Both sides had intended to work through intermediaries on neutral ground, signaling a willingness to make progress.
