Russia, Ukraine and the United States are planning trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi in the first half of November, the Kremlin said Friday, following a meeting between U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and Russian President Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said the U.S.-brokered negotiations would focus on ending Russia’s war against Ukraine. Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov said Moscow had proposed resuming talks around November 10 and that Witkoff welcomed its willingness to return to the trilateral format.
The announcement followed Witkoff’s discussions with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Oslo. Zelenskyy described those talks as constructive and said Washington had reaffirmed its commitment to security guarantees for Ukraine. He insisted that Kyiv must participate in any negotiations concerning its future, saying, “Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine.”
Putin said in a televised interview that the talks should address long-term security arrangements for a final peace agreement rather than a short truce. Previous U.S.-brokered negotiations earlier this year produced little progress.
Separately, Russia’s Defence Ministry said Moscow and Kyiv exchanged 270 prisoners of war each on Friday. The two countries have continued prisoner exchanges despite the lapse in peace negotiations.
