Zelenskyy Teases Trilateral Talks With US and Russia in November

Original version ·

A three-way meeting between Ukraine, the US, and Russia is tentatively set for November, provided Moscow stops ghosting.

Ukraine is officially ready to sit down for talks any day of the week, but getting all three sides into the same room remains an uphill battle.

Speaking at the Hudson Institute, Zelenskyy noted that his team has been coordinating closely with Trump's envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. They mapped out a three-way session between Ukrainian, American, and Russian delegations slated for early November.

The catch is whether Russia actually bothers to attend. A similar round was scheduled for October, only for Moscow to dodge it at the last minute. The calculus remains straightforward: progress requires constant US pressure on the Kremlin, and technical teams are just the groundwork for an eventual leader-level confrontation.

Attempting to lock down a peace summit with a counterpart that just ghosted the last meeting feels less like high-stakes diplomacy and more like wrangling an elusive RSVP.

    Russia 'finding an excuse' to skip meetings is standard procedure at this point. Zero expectations until people actually sit down at the table.
