The latest talks between Putin (right) and Witkoff lasted about three hours in St Petersburg<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Russia is “ready in principle” to resume talks with the US and Ukraine on ending the conflict, Vladimir Putin’s top aide has said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\n
\n

Yuriy Ushakov was speaking after Putin met US President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff in the Russian city of St Petersburg. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Kyiv has been pressing Moscow for an immediate resumption of the trilateral talks, which were suspended in February, and Ushakov said a new round could be held next month. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Witkoff went to Moscow after meeting Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky as well as the leaders of Norway and Finland on Monday. Ushakov said their ideas were not very “useful”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Top officials from Russia, Ukraine and the US have held several rounds of talks aimed at ending the war that began in February 2022 when Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

The talks, however, were put on hold, with the Kremlin blaming last month’s “massive” Ukrainian strikes on Russia for their disruption.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Speaking to reporters after the St Petersburg talks, Ushakov suggested that a new round could be held around 10 November. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

He stressed that the talks must focus on “building a security system for Russia and Ukraine after the end of the conflict.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
