Whitkoff and Kushner will be welcome in Moscow if they want to share the results of their talks with Ukrainian representatives in the United States, Peskov said. He also noted that it is not yet known whether the American negotiators will visit Russia in October. Previously, Axios reported that Whitkoff and Kushner plan to visit the Russian capital at the end of October for talks with Putin. On October 9 and 10, US representatives are scheduled to meet with the Ukrainian delegation in Miami.
Tomorrow, the Ukrainian negotiating team will meet with Witkoff and Kushner in the United States. In particular, the organization of trilateral talks with the Russian Federation in Abu Dhabi at the end of October will be discussed.
We expect that the U.S. side will succeed in arranging a trilateral meeting in October. For now, the Russians are focused solely on strikes against Ukraine and destabilizing activities in Europe. Putin now knows the situation in Europe – in specific countries – and the statistics on strikes far better than he knows what is actually happening on the front. And an important task for America and all our strong partners is to push Russia toward diplomacy and real steps instead of killing.

Kremlin: Russian-American-Ukrainian Meeting to be Held Soon The Kremlin announced that a trilateral meeting between the United States, Russia, and Ukraine may be held soon to discuss efforts to end the war that has been raging in Ukraine for more than four years.
Interview with Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia A.S. Alimov to MIA "Russia Today" (September 22, 2026) Question: Has Russia decided on its support for a candidate for the post of UN Secretary-General? A.S. Alimov: The selection and appointment of the highest administrative official of the UN is a complex procedure. The outcome undoubtedly depends on the preferences of a single state—even a permanent member of the Security Council, as in the case of Russia—but only partially. Moreover, in today's highly charged geopolitical environment, the publicly stated preferences of a given state may ultimately work against the candidate. In the current election cycle, the Latin American and Caribbean region has been given the task of nominating a candidate, in accordance with the unofficial principle of geographic rotation. Although this rule has been violated before—Portuguese-born Antonio Guterres assumed his current position ten years ago over a representative from the Eastern European group—we have publicly stated our commitment to this principle. We believe that members of the Security Council give priority attention to applicants from the specified region. Although, of course, each candidate has his own baggage of experience and advantages over competitors. Question: Can we expect contacts between our delegation and representatives of Ukraine during the upcoming UNGA high-level week? A.S. Alimov: The schedule of Foreign Minister Sergey V. Lavrov, who will traditionally lead the Russian delegation during the high-level week of the UN General Assembly, does not include meetings with representatives of Ukraine. They didn't approach us with such proposals. If they do, which I very much doubt, we will consider them, just as we would similar proposals from any other delegation. But at the moment, the schedule has already been drawn up, and it is, as always, extremely tight, with dozens of bilateral and multilateral meetings literally every 15 minutes. Question: What is Russia's position on the idea of seeking a political and diplomatic solution to the conflict with Ukraine through UN mediation after Antonio Guterres was replaced by a new Secretary-General who has not yet been tainted by anti-Russian bias? Can the organization make any further contribution to resolving the conflict? A.S. Alimov: Guterres will leave his successor a truly depressing legacy. The issue isn't just the Secretariat's approach to the Ukrainian crisis, but also to virtually all regional and functional issues. Cleaning up this "Augean stable" won't be easy. Yes, we will seek from the new Secretary-General a revision of the biased line of the Secretariat that took root under his predecessor, which contradicts the provisions of the UN Charter. However, there are currently serious doubts about the UN's mediating role in the Ukrainian crisis. Question: Is Russia considering signing a peace treaty with Ukraine in the future through a special UN procedure, as reported by Ukrainian media? A.S. Alimov: The media, especially the most honest Ukrainian ones, are full of all sorts of rumors, insider information, and leaks. In this case, it's difficult to decipher what exactly is being said. I urge you not to waste time on the speculations of Ukrainian journalists, but to focus on the official comments of our country's leadership and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Read in full
