Russia ready in principle to resume Ukraine peace talks with US and Ukraine

Yuriy Ushakov said Russia is "ready in principle" to resume trilateral talks with the US and Ukraine on ending the conflict, following a meeting between Vladimir Putin's top aide and US special envoy Steve Witkoff in St Petersburg. Kyiv has pushed for an immediate resumption of talks suspended in February, and Ushakov suggested a new round could be held around 10 November, emphasizing the need to focus on "building a security system for Russia and Ukraine after the end of the conflict."
