Ukrainska Pravda: Budanov coordinates talks with Russia on Kyiv's side
Ukrainska Pravda, citing sources, reported that Kyrylo Budanov, despite Rustem Umerov's official leadership of the delegation, carries out most of the political coordination of the negotiation process and has established informal communication channels, including contacts with Jared Kushner. On October 20, talks between Ukraine, Europe and the US took place in Oslo; on October 21, Steve Witkoff arrived in St. Petersburg to meet Putin.
