Zelenskyy says Ukrainian, Russian and US negotiators to meet in early November in Abu Dhabi
The talks would focus on security guarantees and postwar arrangements, with Moscow signaling support for a meeting as early as November, officials said.
- On Friday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed Russia, Ukraine, and the United States will resume trilateral negotiations in Abu Dhabi during the first half of November at the negotiating-team level.
- US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff facilitated the upcoming talks following meetings with President Volodymyr Zelensky in Oslo on October 20 and President Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg on October 21.
- Negotiations will prioritize security arrangements for a final peace agreement rather than a short-term ceasefire, Putin stated. Ukraine seeks enforceable guarantees modeled on NATO's Article 5 to maintain its army for 10 years.
- While Moscow suggested holding discussions around November 10, Zelensky expressed support for the American proposal to meet as soon as possible, preferably no later than early November.
- Previous trilateral sessions held earlier this year in Abu Dhabi and Geneva failed to produce an agreement. Witkoff's praise of Putin as a 'humanitarian' has drawn sharp criticism, complicating the White House's diplomatic efforts.
