Russia Signals Readiness to Resume Ukraine Talks After November 10

Russia has signaled willingness to resume dialogue with Ukraine after November 10, while maintaining its core demands unchanged. The development follows a three-hour meeting between Donald Trump's special envoy and Vladimir Putin. The envoy delivered written proposals from recent contacts with Volodymyr Zelensky and European officials in Oslo, requesting restart of trilateral negotiations suspended in February. Putin released an American prisoner and announced the first Russian cargo ship departure to the United States, signaling leverage ahead of US elections. A possible trilateral Trump-Putin-Xi meeting in November remains open, though agenda disagreements persist over nuclear weapons discussions. Moscow also seeks broader European security architecture changes, including NATO's role in Eastern Europe and weapons deployment, reviving demands from 2021.
