  • Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia does not rule out resuming trilateral peace talks with Ukraine and the United States.
  • Peskov said Russia had not yet received the results of U.S. envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoffโ€™s meetings in Kyiv and did not give a date or venue for new talks.
  • The envoys met Russian officials in Moscow and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv, but announced no concrete agreement.

The Kremlin says it is open to reviving a three-way peace format with Ukraine and the United States, while cautioning that plans for another meeting remain at an early stage.

โ€œWe do not rule out the resumption of this trilateral format,โ€ Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in his daily telephone briefing. He added that it was โ€œpremature to talk about the place and dateโ€ of any talks.

He also left open the possibility of a conversation between the Russian and U.S. presidents about the envoysโ€™ trip, saying the Kremlin would announce it if it takes place.

โ€œWithout a doubt, any more or less effective attempt is always a small step toward peace,โ€ Peskov said. He added that Russia highly valued the peace efforts of the U.S. envoys and recalled that President Vladimir Putin had expressed appreciation for Donald Trumpโ€™s commitment to peace.

Kushner and Witkoff visited Kyiv on Sunday after meeting Putin and other Kremlin negotiators in Moscow on Saturday. Following talks with Zelenskyy, they agreed to meet again in the coming weeks to seek ways to advance the peace process. Discussions covered ending the war, security guarantees and Ukraineโ€™s economic viability after a peace agreement, as well as assistance the country could receive for the coming winter. No concrete agreement with Russia emerged from the latest contacts.
