Putin agrees to resume trilateral talks on Ukraine war with Kyiv and Washington, Kremlin says
The Kremlin says the talks will focus on postwar security guarantees and could begin after Nov. 10 at a technical level.
- 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.
