BRUSSELS: At the NATO Foreign Ministers' meeting, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte was asked if the alliance has a Plan B.

NEWS ANALYSIS: It was another round of negotiations without a breakthrough. After Tuesday's five-hour meeting in Moscow on a solution to the war in Ukraine, US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner returned home to Washington. Peace is no closer, but also no further away than it was before the meeting, said Kremlin adviser Yuri Ushakov. Later in the day, it was reported that President Putin had accepted some of the US proposals and rejected others.

Before the meeting, Putin had lashed out at Europe: “They are on the side of war,” he said of the European countries. He also accused Europe of undermining Trump’s efforts to create peace by making proposals that they knew were unacceptable to Russia.
