Ushakov said Moscow had sent Washington several proposed dates and was awaiting a response. The sides had previously discussed holding the meeting in mid-November but had yet to agree on a specific date.
Also on Friday, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said Ukraine had resumed drone attacks on Russian oil-processing facilities.
Meanwhile, the US State Department announced that it had approved a potential sale of 500 Patriot PAC-3 interceptor missiles to Ukraine, valued at approximately 2.1 billion USD. The department said the proposed sale would strengthen Ukraine’s integrated air and missile defense capabilities.
