According to Ukrinform - Politics, the US side has proposed holding a trilateral meeting between negotiating teams as soon as possible, a move that Russia reportedly supports. Zelensky expressed support for this meeting, suggesting it could occur by early November at the latest.\n\nThe proposed agenda for the discussions includes ending the war, moving toward peace, and preparing for a summit between leaders. Zelensky noted that the Ukrainian team would support various humanitarian initiatives, such as an energy truce, ceasefire proposals, and the return of prisoners of war.
