Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed Wednesday to resume trilateral talks with Washington and Kyiv on ending the war, a Kremlin official said. Adviser Yuri Ushakov said Putin agreed in principle to restart them after Nov. 10.
Why it matters: The talks would focus on a postwar security system for Russia and Ukraine, Ushakov said. Trump is pressing Kyiv to make a deal that stops the fighting.
Where they split: Coverage differs on whether Putin's agreement marks a real shift or a modest step with no breakthrough in sight.
Center coverage, 12 sources: The center frames the agreement as a tentative step after months of stalled talks, with no high-level breakthrough expected.
Right coverage, 7 sources: The right frames the agreement as an about-face by Putin, after he resisted summits, driven by Trump's pressure and diplomacy.
What’s next: Talks would restart after Nov. 10, per Ushakov. Witkoff planned to return to Oslo, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre said.
