Russian leader Vladimir Putin is “in principle” ready for Moscow to resume talks with Washington and Kyiv, the Kremlin said Wednesday.

During a meeting in St. Petersburg with U.S. President Donald Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, Putin said Moscow is ready to restart trilateral negotiations in November, Yuri Ushakov, a senior Putin aide, told reporters.

Ushakov added that the “conflict in Ukraine is coming to an end,” and said trilateral talks “may take place in Abu Dhabi.”
