Asked about possible trilateral talks next month with the United States and Kyiv, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said no decision had yet been made on who would represent Russia, Reuters reported.

Peskov also said Russia will review a US invitation for President Vladimir Putin to attend a G20 meeting in Miami in December, but that no decision has been made yet, according to a Reuters update carried by AnewZ's live coverage.

The comments follow a week of renewed diplomacy. On Wednesday, Kremlin foreign affairs adviser Yuri Ushakov said Putin had agreed "in principle" to resume three-way negotiations involving Russia, the United States and Ukraine after November 10, following Putin's meeting in St. Petersburg with US envoy Steve Witkoff, the Associated Press reported. The talks would focus on security guarantees for Russia and Ukraine after the conflict ends, Ushakov said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy backed the push for new talks but was cautious. "We'll see what happens this time," he said, shortly before missile alerts sounded over Kyiv, AP reported.
