Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Abu Dhabi is for now the likely venue for three-way talks, that Vladimir Putin sent no written proposals through US envoy Steve Witkoff, and that no decision has been made on Putin attending the G20 summit in Miami.
In quotes posted on X from his interview with Steven Bartlett, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said a ceasefire is "the only step" because "people's hatred isn't going anywhere", and said Trump should adopt towards Putin the rhetoric he uses about him.
Asked on Fox & Friends whether he would accept a deal freezing the war where it stands, with Ukraine keeping "75% or more" of its territory, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said "Yes", calling a freeze the "minimum" needed from Russia before talks on security guarantees.
Volodymyr Zelensky met US envoy Steve Witkoff in Oslo with Norway's prime minister and Finland's president. Zelensky said Ukraine is ready for negotiations and proposed a trilateral leaders' meeting; Norway's Jonas Gahr Støre said Witkoff would fly to St Petersburg on Wednesday.
