Volodymyr Zelensky said he supported a meeting between Ukrainian, Russian and US teams, to be organised as soon as possible. The position came after the Kremlin said it was ready for a meeting in mid-November, AFP reports.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Wednesday that he supported a trilateral meeting between Ukraine, Russia and the United States “as soon as possible”. He told journalists that Washington had proposed organising the meeting after Moscow said it was willing to hold talks between teams from the three countries, according to Agence France-Presse (AFP).

Russia proposed resuming negotiations in mid-November, and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to talks with Kyiv and Washington. The plan to resume negotiations in mid-November was discussed after a meeting in St Petersburg between Putin and US envoy Steve Witkoff.

On Wednesday, Zelensky also called for the front line to be frozen as a starting point for discussions aimed at ending the war. Steve Witkoff described his exchanges with Putin as “constructive”, while saying that work remained before a peace agreement could be reached, according to AFP.
