(Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor) - Russian President Vladimir Putin has indicated a willingness to resume trilateral negotiations with the United States and Ukraine towards a possible peace agreement, whilst his foreign policy adviser, Yuri Ushakov, has expressed optimism about an end to the war. “I don’t know how close we are, but we are moving in that direction,” he said whilst speaking to journalists shortly after the meeting in St Petersburg between Putin and the US envoy, Steve Witkoff. According to the adviser, Putin indicated that Russia is ready to hold these three-way talks in the first ten days of November. “The issue concerns the establishment of a security framework for Russia and Ukraine following the end of the conflict,” Ushakov stated. For his part, Zelensky said that Ukraine is ready to freeze the conflict along the current front line and to begin diplomatic negotiations. In an interview with Fox News, Zelensky stated that once a ceasefire has been reached, Ukraine will seek security guarantees from the United States and European countries.
