Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov told Russian state television reporter Pavel Zarubin that the timing of Russia-U.S.-Ukraine talks would depend on Ukraine's actions in the coming days. According to Sina Finance, the talks would not take place before Russia's November 4 National Unity Day, and Russia would monitor whether Ukraine launched attacks during the holiday. Ushakov said a large-scale attack could affect Russia's stance toward the planned talks.
