Russian dictator Vladimir Putin's team does not rule out holding peace talks on ending the war against Ukraine in a trilateral format, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, according to TASS.
"Russia does not rule out that trilateral talks on Ukraine will be held in October," the Russian dictator's spokesman said.
That same day, Putin's aide Yuri Ushakov said that Moscow had allegedly not changed its demands for ending the war and that they supposedly remained unchanged.
"I would say that the demands remain unchanged; there has been no tightening. We would simply like these demands to be fulfilled sooner or later, and preferably sooner," Ushakov cynically said.
It is important to understand that on the eve of this statement, Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Kyrylo Budanov said that a new round of peace talks was planned for October 2026 in a trilateral format.
"We are preparing. For October," Budanov said.
However, when asked by an RBC-Ukraine correspondent whether the meeting would take place in the Middle East, the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine declined to specify the location of the potential talks.
It will be recalled that the day before, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy publicly proposed that Putin meet with him at the G20 summit in December 2026.
However, Kremlin spokesman Peskov, responding to the proposal, said that such a meeting was "impossible."
