  "account": "Abu Dhabi is being considered as the location for renewed discussions between Ukraine, Russia, and the United States, according to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. Moscow has proposed holding the meeting around mid-November, while Kyiv desires talks by early November. No joint confirmation of a date or venue has been reached. Kremlin spokesperson Yuri Ushakov suggested a potential meeting in November, stating Russia has not yet determined which participants will attend. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed support for a US proposal for an early November meeting, preferably no later than the beginning of the month. He stated Ukraine is prepared to participate. The US envoy Steve Witkoff has been facilitating diplomatic contacts, including a meeting with Putin in St. Petersburg on October 21. Earlier negotiations took place in Oslo on October 20, involving Witkoff, Zelensky, and European leaders, focusing on security guarantees, territorial issues, sanctions, and Ukraine's postwar economy. Washington relayed Russia's willingness to resume negotiations via Witkoff's visit to Moscow. Washington, Kyiv, and Moscow previously held three rounds of talks this year in Abu Dhabi, Geneva, and St. Petersburg, but no agreement was reached. Ushakov said Moscow desires the next round to concentrate on security measures for Russia and Ukraine post-war. Kyiv supports new talks while also advocating for a ceasefire, cessation of energy infrastructure attacks, and humanitarian measures. No shared agenda for the proposed Abu Dhabi meeting has been disclosed. Ukraine also seeks enforceable guarantees against potential future Russian attacks. The planned November meeting would reunite negotiating teams but would not be a leaders' summit or a confirmation of a settlement.",
