Russia agreed on Wednesday to resume three-way negotiations next month with Washington and Kyiv, aimed at ending the war in Ukraine, according to a Kremlin official cited by The Associated Press (AP).

It could be the first such talks since February. The same day, US envoy Steve Witkoff met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg to discuss the conflict in Ukraine, as US President Donald Trump pushes Kyiv and Moscow to reach a deal that stops the fighting.
