The U.S., Russia, and Ukraine to Hold New Round of Talks: Whitkoff's Statement After Meeting with Putin

During the meeting of American envoys Steve Whitkoff and Jared Kushner with Vladimir Putin on November 12, the parties agreed on a new round of trilateral negotiations. Whitkoff reported this to CNN. "I think progress has been made. I believe it happened this morning. People didn’t think we would resume trilateral talks. We have resumed them. We have scheduled a new meeting. That’s what President Trump wants," he said. Whitkoff also confirmed that representatives from Europe will join the next round of negotiations regarding the war in Ukraine. "They are our partners, and it is important for them to be involved," he told reporters. Another special representative, Kushner, described the meeting with Putin as substantive and noted that it will serve as a foundation for the upcoming multilateral negotiations. "Overall, we had very substantive and detailed discussions on all issues, which I hope will serve as a basis for subsequent multilateral negotiations," Kushner emphasized. Now, the American envoys will head to Dublin, where they will meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and inform him of the results of the talks in Moscow.
