Kremlin offers no comment on potential September talks with Ukraine, US

The Kremlin has remained tight-lipped regarding speculation about a potential new round of trilateral talks involving Russia, Ukraine, and the United States scheduled for September. Yuri Ushakov, a foreign policy advisor to the Kremlin, acknowledged awareness of media reports concerning these expectations.

However, Ushakov stated he could not provide specific details about statements made by the head of Volodymyr Zelenskyy's office. These statements suggested a possible meeting between Ukrainian, Russian, and US representatives next month. The last formal trilateral talks between Russia and Ukraine, with US participation, took place in February. Since then, representatives from Russia and Ukraine have held separate discussions with the American delegation.

“

Today we were informed by the American side about the meetings in Moscow that took place these days. There were several meetings there.

Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy indicated that the United States had informed Kyiv about a series of meetings held in Moscow in the preceding days. "Today we were informed by the American side about the meetings in Moscow that took place these days. There were several meetings there," Zelenskyy stated via Telegram, without elaborating on the attendees. He expressed gratitude for the update and the "necessary tone of the discussion with Russia," but offered no further details.
