Putin agrees to resume 3-way peace talks with Ukraine and US

The Kremlin says the next round of US-mediated talks could begin in November, but Moscow and Kyiv remain far apart on territorial concessions, security guarantees and the terms of a peace deal.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has agreed to resume US-mediated peace talks with Ukraine as soon as next month, the Kremlin said on Wednesday, after Putin met US envoy Steve Witkoff in Washington’s latest push to stop Europe’s bloodiest conflict since World War Two.
