Zelenskiy Says US Envoys Presented “Decent Ideas” for Ukraine Peace Talks
The proposals could lead to trilateral talks with Russia and the United States, but Zelenskiy said it is unclear whether they can be implemented.
- On Tuesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said trilateral peace talks between Ukraine, Russia, and the United States could occur this month, aiming to end the ongoing war.
- U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner visited Moscow and Kyiv over the weekend for talks on energy facilities, grain shipments, and oil exports, reviving stalled diplomatic efforts.
- Hours after the envoys departed, Russia launched a massive missile and drone barrage on Kyiv, killing three people. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga said, "The moment the US president's peace envoys left, Putin launched another massive, horrific attack against Kyiv."
- Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters "it is too early to say anything about the venue or the exact dates at this stage." Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov dismissed a Black Sea truce proposal as "unrealistic."
- Russia has targeted Ukraine's energy grid each winter since the 2022 invasion, cutting power to millions. Zelenskyy indicated the United States is pushing to de-escalate before winter, noting Putin wants to avoid antagonizing President Donald Trump before U.S. midterm elections.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy revealed that negotiations between Ukraine and Russia could occur this month, as Moscow launched a new offensive against Kyiv, resulting in several deaths.
