The Kremlin had said it was willing to restart trilateral talks with Kyiv and Washington next month, though dismissed new ideas brought by Witkoff -- developed with European countries and Ukraine -- as lacking substance.

Russia hit a dozen Ukrainian regions overnight, including Kyiv, killing at least two people and wounding 34, Zelensky said, adding that children were among those hurt.
