Putin agrees to resume trilateral talks on Ukraine war with Kyiv and Washington, Kremlin says

  • On Wednesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed "in principle" to resume trilateral negotiations with Washington and Kyiv after Nov. 10, following his meeting in St. Petersburg with U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff.
  • Witkoff's visit to Constantine Palace followed a Tuesday meeting in Oslo with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, where officials described discussions as "productive" and noted "some degree of momentum" in peace efforts.
  • The Kremlin released Stephen Hubbard, an American teacher imprisoned on mercenary charges, as a goodwill gesture, while Zelenskyy maintained that freezing the conflict is the "minimum" required to end the war.
  • Despite diplomatic activity, hostilities persist as the Russian Defense Ministry reported intercepting 373 Ukrainian drones overnight, while energy facilities in Kyiv and three other cities faced attacks early Wednesday, leaving 5 people dead.
  • Future trilateral talks aim at "building a security system for Russia and Ukraine after the conflict ends," according to Yuri Ushakov, though previous efforts since early last year have yielded no significant progress.
