Russian President Vladimir Putin has reportedly said Russia is willing in principle to resume trilateral peace talks involving the United States and Ukraine after November 1.
The report signals a possible opening for renewed diplomatic contact, but it does not establish that a meeting has been formally scheduled or that the parties have agreed on substantive terms.
What to watch
Any progress will depend on confirmation from all parties, agreement on the format and agenda, and developments on the ground. Diplomatic statements should be distinguished from a confirmed negotiation process or a concluded agreement.
