Russian President Vladimir Putin has agreed in principle to resume three-way negotiations with Ukraine and the United States after Nov. 10, according to Kremlin foreign affairs adviser Yuri Ushakov.
The announcement followed a roughly three-hour meeting Wednesday in St. Petersburg between Putin and U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff. Ushakov said proposed talks would focus on security arrangements for Russia and Ukraine after the conflict ends. No venue was announced, and the White House did not immediately confirm a date.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine supported a U.S. proposal for talks among negotiators from the three countries as soon as possible, preferably by early November. He has also said freezing the fighting is the minimum step needed to begin ending the war, and Ukraine has maintained that Kyiv must be directly involved in any agreement.
Witkoff met Zelenskyy and European leaders in Oslo before traveling to Russia. Ushakov said Moscow was not fully satisfied with proposals developed there, though he described them as a step in the right direction.
The Kremlin’s conditional support does not constitute a ceasefire or settlement. Russia and Ukraine remain divided over territory, security guarantees, limits on Ukraine’s military and its future alliances. Fighting and long-range strikes have continued while diplomatic efforts proceed.
