Russia says Ukraine, US talks ‘planned’ for Abu Dhabi
Russia has indicated its readiness to resume peace talks, which have been at a standstill since the beginning of the year.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that talks between Russia, Ukraine, and the United States are set to resume in November at a trilateral format in Abu Dhabi. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed the plan during a meeting with US special envoy Steve Witkoff in Saint Petersburg. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also confirmed the meeting in a post on social media, urging all partners to focus on making the talks happen.
The talks, which have been stalled since the beginning of the year, are expected to discuss the security arrangements of a final peace deal rather than a short truce. US President Donald Trump's administration has been intensifying diplomatic efforts, with Witkoff meeting with both Zelensky and European leaders before the encounter with Putin.
Both Russia and Ukraine expressed readiness to resume direct talks mediated by Washington, with Putin suggesting the discussions could take place around November 10.
