  • The Kremlin said it does not rule out restarting trilateral negotiations with Ukraine and the United States, following visits by U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
  • Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said it was too early to discuss dates or locations, while a Ukrainian official said the envoys presented unspecified proposals to end the war.
  • Earlier mediation efforts produced several rounds of talks in 2025 but stalled over issues including territories Russia claims to have annexed.

The Kremlin says it is open to reviving negotiations between Moscow, Kyiv and Washington, but it is not yet discussing where or when they might take place. “We also do not rule out the resumption of the trilateral format, but it is still too early to talk about the specific place and dates,” presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

Peskov said “every attempt is a step toward peace” and thanked the American negotiators. Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Saturday before traveling to Kyiv on Sunday for talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

We also do not rule out the resumption of the trilateral format, but it is still too early to talk about the specific place and dates.

· Dmitry PeskovThe Kremlin spokesman discussed the possibility of renewed talks between Moscow, Kyiv and Washington.

A senior official in the Ukrainian presidency told AFP that Donald Trump’s envoys presented new, “more effective” proposals for ending the war. The official did not explain what the proposals involved.

U.S. mediation efforts led to several rounds of Moscow-Kyiv talks in 2025, but they failed to produce an agreement. The process has been stalled since the start of the war in the Middle East in February. Previous negotiations largely found both sides holding to their existing positions, with the status of Ukrainian territories claimed by Russia proving a particularly difficult issue. Zelenskyy said on Sunday that he feared the war could continue through winter, when Ukraine again risks Russian attacks on its energy sector.

Every attempt is a step toward peace.

· Dmitry PeskovPeskov welcomed the U.S. envoys’ diplomatic efforts.
