Witkoff to present trilateral Ukraine talks proposal in Russia

US President's special envoy Steve Witkoff plans to present proposals in Russia for trilateral talks between Moscow, Washington, and Kyiv on Ukraine, potentially involving other participants, according to Axios correspondent Barak Ravid citing sources. The goal is to build on progress with Ukraine and Europe, discuss proposals with Russia, and pave the way for direct trilateral and broader multilateral negotiations. Witkoff's associate Jared Kushner will participate remotely due to flu, while consultations in Oslo covered security guarantees, economic recovery, and European security architecture. The Oslo meeting on October 20 involved the Ukrainian delegation led by Volodymyr Zelensky, Witkoff, and European representatives, with sources reporting "significant progress" in coordinating a unified approach toward Russia. TASS sources confirm Witkoff's plans to visit Russia on Wednesday.
