Kremlin: Russia-US-Ukraine talks may happen soon, no date set

The signal here is diplomatic rather than financial: a possible trilateral channel matters because any negotiation track involving all three capitals would shift how markets price geopolitical risk in energy, commodities and defense-linked assets. The absence of a date, venue, format or named participants is the substance — it means nothing is locked, and the Kremlin's framing may itself be a positioning move. Whether a format actually materializes, and who sits at the table, is the open question worth tracking.
