Russia, Ukraine and the United States plan to hold trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi during the first half of November, according to Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov. The US-brokered negotiations would be the first in that format since earlier talks stalled.
The announcement followed US special envoy Steve Witkoff’s meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg. Putin aide Yuri Ushakov said Moscow proposed resuming negotiations around November 10 and that Witkoff welcomed its willingness to return to the trilateral format. Putin later said the discussions should focus on long-term security arrangements for a final peace agreement rather than a short truce.
Before Witkoff’s Russia visit, he met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Oslo. Zelenskyy described discussions with US officials as constructive and said Washington had reaffirmed its commitment to security guarantees for Ukraine. He stressed that Kyiv must participate in any negotiations concerning its future, saying, “Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine.”
The talks are being arranged amid continuing disputes over attacks on energy infrastructure. Zelenskyy has accused Russia of violating an energy ceasefire and said Ukraine would resume retaliatory strikes if Russian attacks continued.
Separately, Russia and Ukraine exchanged 270 prisoners of war each on Friday, according to Russia’s Defence Ministry.
