Kremlin says Ukraine-US-Russia talks may occur in Abu Dhabi in November

Trilateral talks between Ukraine, the US, and Russia on ending the war may take place in Abu Dhabi in the first half of November, according to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. He did not disclose further preparation details. The talks follow a meeting between Vladimir Putin and US envoy Steve Witkoff in St. Petersburg, after which Moscow signaled readiness to resume the trilateral format. A key topic will be a security system for Russia and Ukraine after the war ends. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed Moscow agreed to the meeting, with Washington proposing early November. Kyiv supports initiatives on ceasefire, prisoner exchanges, and humanitarian issues. Putin reiterated claims that Ukrainians and Russians are "one people."
