Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia has signaled to Donald Trump's emissaries its willingness to begin negotiations on the war in Ukraine, citing a possible de-escalation this winter, according to an interview with Axios.
Russia resumed its air attacks on kyiv on the night of Monday to Tuesday, killing at least two people and wounding seven, after a three-day suspension linked to the visit of American emissaries. Explosions were heard early Tuesday in the Ukrainian capital, according to AFP journalists. The missile alert was lifted in the early morning. This attack marks the first targeting kyiv in three nights, after the expiration of a mutual truce announced by Moscow and kyiv to allow tripartite talks. According to Volodymyr Zelensky, Vladimir Putin would have signaled to the emissaries that he was willing to begin negotiations with a view to a “de-escalation” this winter, which could concern energy, cereals, electricity, oil and gas. Emissaries Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Putin in Moscow and then Zelensky in kyiv, alongside European representatives from France, Britain and Germany. The Kremlin indicated that it did not rule out a resumption of tripartite talks, but judged it “still too early to talk about the precise location and dates”.
