Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sibigá stated that the 'spirit of Anchorage'—referring to diplomatic talks between the U.S. and Russia held in Alaska—is dead, emphasizing that no agreement was reached during those discussions. According to Sibigá, Russia has been relying on false hopes rather than genuine negotiations, which have failed to lead to peace. The proposed deal reportedly involved Ukraine fully withdrawing from the Donbas region, but Kyiv refused, arguing that such a move would mean surrendering territory rightfully belonging to Ukraine under international law. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed there was no agreement at Anchorage, stating that if there had been one, the war would already have ended. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces have been targeting Russian energy infrastructure to weaken the Russian military and economy.
