Putin agrees to resume three-way talks on Ukraine war with Kyiv and Washington, Kremlin says

Russian President Vladimir Putin has agreed to resume three-way talks with Washington and Kyiv next month to end the war in Ukraine, according to a Kremlin official. Putin's foreign affairs adviser, Yuri Ushakov, confirmed the decision following a meeting in St. Petersburg with U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, who is representing President Donald Trump.

The talks will concentrate on establishing a security framework for Russia and Ukraine following the conflict's conclusion, Ushakov stated. Witkoff's discussions with Putin revolved around Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, as Trump urged Kyiv to negotiate an end to the fighting. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has maintained that only a summit of leaders can break the deadlock.

The two armed forces remain engaged in combat on the ground, with both nations striking each other with long-range missiles daily. Representatives from the three nations convened three rounds of negotiations earlier this year, meeting twice in Abu Dhabi in January and February, followed by additional discussions in Geneva.
