Ukraine negotiator says momentum good for conflict resolution by year-end

The signal here is procedural rather than substantive: a negotiator framing momentum as favorable and pushing for a wider format suggests Kyiv sees value in broadening the table beyond the current three-party structure. That distinction matters because format often shapes outcomes in conflict diplomacy, and the call for multilateralism implies more stakeholders want a seat. What remains unaddressed is any concrete mechanism or timeline beyond the year-end reference, so whether the stated momentum translates into an actual framework is the open question worth watching.
