The Kremlin announced that Putin has agreed to resume trilateral talks with Ukraine and the U.S. next month. U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff met with Putin in St. Petersburg to discuss the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Witkoff expressed hopes for progress in peace negotiations, while Putin thanked the U.S. for its efforts. The discussions lasted three hours, with no immediate statements from the participants. Witkoff's meetings aim to revitalize U.S.-led peace efforts after years of stalled negotiations. Meanwhile, Zelenski emphasized the need to freeze the conflict as a minimum step towards peace. The situation remains tense, with ongoing military confrontations and attacks from both sides.
