Russia and Ukraine have accepted a US proposal for technical-level trilateral talks aimed at ending the war, according to a US official quoted by the BBC. The development followed meetings between US envoy Steve Witkoff and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Oslo, and between Witkoff and Russian President Vladimir Putin in St Petersburg.
Putin aide Yuri Ushakov said Russia was “ready in principle” to resume negotiations suspended in February and suggested a new round could take place around November 10 in Abu Dhabi. Zelensky said discussions in Oslo included security guarantees and proposals for an energy ceasefire.
The United States and European countries are also developing a broader settlement package involving territorial compromises, Ukrainian reconstruction, security guarantees and economic integration through an energy agreement, Ukrainian Pravda reported, citing The Washington Post. The reported proposal would offer Ukraine US and European commitments in the event of another Russian attack while also addressing Moscow’s security concerns.
Fighting continued alongside the diplomacy. Russian strikes wounded 15 people in Kyiv, killed a woman in the Kharkiv region and damaged energy infrastructure near Kremenchuk, according to Ukrainian officials. Russian officials said Ukrainian drone attacks wounded people near Moscow and in Lipetsk, and that 630 drones were directed toward the capital overnight.
Separately, the White House said Russia and Ukraine agreed to halt military action temporarily in Russian-held Oleshky from October 29, allowing humanitarian deliveries and civilian evacuations. First lady Melania Trump helped negotiate the localized ceasefire, the White House said.
