US pushes Ukraine talks after Oslo and St. Petersburg meetings

Following talks in Oslo and St. Petersburg, the US has discussed resuming trilateral negotiations on Ukraine, but a Russian missile and drone attack on Kyiv killed one person and wounded 22 others. The attack came hours after US envoy Steve Witkoff met with President Vladimir Putin, who agreed to resume talks with Ukraine and the US in mid-November. Ukrainian officials condemned the strike, linking it to Putin's "humanism" comment. Experts view the talks as serious but not a breakthrough, noting Russia still rejects a phased approach and seeks Ukraine's capitulation. Key issues include security guarantees and distrust of Witkoff as a mediator.
