KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine and Russia have signaled willingness to resume peace talks and back a humanitarian mission led by U.S. First lady Melania Trump, but deep disagreements over territory and security guarantees underscore obstacles to ending the war. U.S. President Donald Trump is pushing for a new round of negotiations, potentially in mid-November, as Russia continues to demand control of Ukrainian regions it illegally annexed but does not fully control. Kyiv rejects any suggestion of unilateral withdrawal and says stronger Western pressure on Moscow is needed to advance peace efforts.
