Russia willing to resume peace talks with Ukraine, US after Witkoff visit
Russian President Vladimir Putin has signalled Moscow is willing in principle to resume talks with Ukraine and the US.
What the coverage shows
All three outlets center Steve Witkoff’s trip to meet Vladimir Putin, and Axios and France 24 both say he will present an updated peace proposal after talks with Zelensky. France 24 closely mirrors the event framing in its headline, while BBC News shifts emphasis to Zelensky’s comment on intelligence sharing and, in its extract, notes the earlier dispute over that sharing. Only Axios mentions Jared Kushner joining the meeting virtually.
