Russia ready to resume talks with Ukraine and US to end war

The editor identified and addressed these points before publication:

• The title claims Russia expressed willingness to resume peace talks with both Ukraine and the US, but the draft only mentions discussions involving all three parties, not a distinct bilateral willingness towards both parties.
• The draft incorrectly dates the start of the conflict as 2022; it should be 2014 with the formal escalation in 2022.
• There is insufficient context about the historical background of the conflict and the nature of previous talks.
• The draft implies that the conflict is nearing its fifth year, which is incorrect; the conflict has been ongoing since 2014, although intensified in 2022.
• There is no source verification of specific details about Yuriy Ushakov's comments on the usefulness of Witkoff's proposals.
• The article incorrectly names US President Donald Trump's special envoy as Steve Witkoff. Steve Witkoff is known as a real estate developer, not likely involved in diplomatic envoys.
• The talks were disrupted earlier in 2026, but the precise reasons are speculative. Include specific reasons if available or acknowledge ambiguity.
• The article lacks context on why Ushakov skeptically viewed the proposals, making unclear the dynamics of the discussions.
