Trilateral talks between Russia, the United States, and Ukraine could take place in early November, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced.
Preparations for Delegation-Level Negotiations
According to the president, the US side conveyed that Moscow supports holding talks at the delegation level following a meeting between Steve Witkoff and Russian representatives. Zelenskyy noted that Washington proposed organizing the meeting as soon as possible, and Kyiv is prepared to participate.
“The main goal is to bring the end of the war closer and pave the way for a meeting of the three nations’ leaders,” the Ukrainian president stated.
Humanitarian Priorities and Skepticism Over Moscow
The Ukrainian leader emphasized support for securing a ceasefire, returning prisoners of war, and advancing other humanitarian initiatives. However, Zelenskyy cautioned that Russia has repeatedly agreed to negotiations in the past only to change its stance later.
