Story summary

US special envoy Steve Witkoff held talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg on October 21, 2026, following "positive" discussions with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Norway and Finland the previous day. Secretary of State Marco Rubio described Witkoff’s talks as constructive but emphasized there was no immediate agreement to end the war in Ukraine. On October 23, Russia announced it would hold trilateral peace talks with the US and Ukraine in the United Arab Emirates in November, aiming to restart stalled negotiations. Zelenskyy confirmed on October 25 that a meeting between Kyiv, Washington, and Moscow would take place in November to address ongoing conflict issues.
