Ongoing Russian advances in eastern Ukraine, combined with Moscow's insistence on full control of the Donetsk region as a precondition for any ceasefire, have kept formal negotiations on a deep pause since early 2026. Kremlin statements confirm continued military operations while rejecting compromise proposals from Kyiv and Western mediators, and recent Ukrainian comments indicate only possible technical discussions ahead without expectations of rapid progress. Intensified strikes on both sides further underscore the absence of de-escalation momentum. With roughly two months until October 31, these entrenched territorial disputes and frontline realities drive the market's strong consensus against a signed deal. A sudden shift in U.S. mediation pressure, major battlefield reversals, or external developments altering Russian incentives remain the primary variables that could still influence the timeline.
