Zelensky open to front-line ceasefire as Putin agrees to resume trilateral talks

Ukrainian President Zelensky stated he is open to a ceasefire based on the current front line to end the war with Russia, while President Putin has agreed in principle to resume trilateral peace talks, potentially reviving stalled negotiations. In a Fox News interview, Zelensky said freezing the current front line is a realistic way to end the war and the minimum condition demanded of Russia, though he firmly rejected ceding the Donbas region, calling such a demand unjust. Putin agreed to resume working-level trilateral talks with the US and Ukraine after a three-hour meeting with US envoy Steve Witkoff, with Abu Dhabi a possible venue, but major obstacles remain as Ukraine refuses territorial concessions and Russia maintains its demands.
