Russia and Ukraine hold US-backed talks after Trump says broad deal is possible
Russian and Ukrainian officials held talks on Tuesday, 10 November, in the first US-brokered meeting of its kind since February. The session came after US President Donald Trump said last week that a broad deal could be possible, aimed both at ending the war in Ukraine and at arrangements that would guarantee security in Europe.
The encounter is notable mainly for its format and timing rather than for any published outcome. Washington is again acting as broker between the two sides after a long gap, and the talks sit against Trump’s public suggestion that a wider settlement—covering the fighting itself and European security—might be within reach. France 24 reported the meeting from that angle, with correspondent Emmanuelle Chaze in Kyiv and International Affairs Editor Rochelle Ferguson supplying the network’s coverage.
No further details of the agenda, the officials involved, or any agreement reached were given in the available report. What is established is that Moscow and Kyiv sat down under US auspices on 10 November, that this was their first such US-brokered contact since February, and that it followed Trump’s statement that a broad deal on the war and European security remained possible.
