Ukraine, Russia and US Said to Prepare New Round of Mediated Talks
Officials in Kyiv and Moscow indicate trilateral discussions could resume in October, though expectations for a breakthrough remain low.
Ukraine and Russia are preparing for a new round of trilateral talks mediated by the United States, according to officials in both Kyiv and Moscow, with discussions potentially beginning in October.
According to Deutsche Welle, few observers anticipate a major breakthrough from the upcoming talks. However, Ukraine is reportedly seeking a partial de-escalation of hostilities that could help the country manage through the winter months.
Details on the specific agenda, format and participants of the planned talks have not been fully disclosed. The report did not specify which US officials would be involved in mediating the discussions or what concrete proposals might be tabled.
The prospect of renewed talks comes amid the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which has continued with periodic diplomatic efforts aimed at easing tensions, though previous rounds of negotiations have yielded limited concrete results.
Further details on the timing and substance of the October talks were not immediately available.
