Kremlin says trilateral Ukraine talks set for November

Trilateral talks on the war in Ukraine will take place next month, according to Russian officials, with the Kremlin stating the discussions will occur in a three-party format. The talks are likely to be held in Abu Dhabi during the first half of November, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. President Vladimir Putin stated Thursday he is ready to resume trilateral talks with the US and Ukraine under certain conditions, emphasizing he seeks a final agreement framework, not a short pause in fighting. US envoy Steve Witkoff held separate talks this week with Ukrainian and Russian leaders in Oslo and St. Petersburg. Putin said the goal is guaranteeing security for both Ukraine and Russia within a final settlement framework.
