#Zelensky says the U.S. is exploring a winter de-escalation between #Ukraine and #Russia while trying to restart broader peace talks. After Witkoff and Kushner met #Putin in #Moscow and Zelensky in Kyiv, Zelensky said the message was that “the Russians are ready to negotiate,” though he remains skeptical given Russia’s continued attacks. Possible confidence-building steps could involve energy infrastructure, grain shipments, electricity, and oil and gas.
