AP: Putin is willing to negotiate with Kyiv on ending the war
Russian President Vladimir Putin has agreed to resume trilateral talks with the US and Ukraine regarding the resolution of the war in Ukraine. This decision follows a meeting between Putin and US special envoy Steve Witkoff. The talks are expected to take place after November 10, building on previous discussions that primarily focused on prisoner exchanges. Tensions in US-Ukrainian relations have arisen due to Trump's agreement with Putin on Russian diesel purchases and criticism of Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky emphasized the need for a presidential-level agreement to freeze the conflict as a realistic scenario for ending the war.
