Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says the United States wants Russia-Ukraine talks to take place by the end of October. He says the US is currently in contact with both Ukraine and Russia and is proposing a technical-level meeting in a trilateral format.
Zelensky indicates that Ukraine supports this approach, including the idea of holding talks by late October. One outlet frames the plan as a US push for discussions that Ukraine and Russia can engage in through technical representatives, while also emphasizing the proposed timing. The two reports focus on the same core elements: US involvement, trilateral structure, and a schedule targeting the end of October, without detailing additional outcomes or negotiation terms.
