Trilateral talks could be held in early November following Witkoff–Putin meeting, Zelensky says

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has indicated that trilateral talks involving his government, the United States, and Russia could be scheduled in early November, following a recent meeting between US envoy Steve Witkoff and Russian President Vladimir Putin in St Petersburg. Zelensky revealed that the US side has expressed its support for such a meeting as soon as possible, aligning with Ukraine's desire to work towards ending the war, achieving peace, and preparing for a summit between the leaders.

The Ukrainian President emphasized the importance of discussing a ceasefire, an energy truce, and various humanitarian efforts, such as the release of prisoners of war, during these negotiations. He expressed optimism that Russia would honor its commitments regarding the trilateral meeting. Zelensky's comments come after his meeting with Witkoff, Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre of Norway, and Finnish President Alexander Stubb in Oslo on October 20, and Witkoff's subsequent meeting with Putin in St Petersburg on October 21.
