Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on Sunday that the United States is aiming to facilitate talks between Ukraine and Russia in order to end the ongoing four-and-a-half-year war. The US-led peace efforts have been hindered due to Washington's focus on its conflict with Iran and Russia's escalation of aerial attacks on Ukraine.
During a press conference, Zelensky confirmed that US negotiators are currently engaged in discussions with Ukrainian and Russian representatives, with a potential trilateral meeting being arranged by the end of October. While the location of these talks remains undisclosed, Ukraine remains open to hosting the negotiations in the United Arab Emirates or any other country suggested by the Americans.
The Kremlin had previously expressed openness towards such tripartite discussions, stating that they would not rule out the possibility of holding the talks in October. However, previous attempts at dialogue have not resulted in significant progress, as Russia has maintained its stringent demands for an end to the conflict.
