US sees hopeful signs ahead of Russia-Ukraine talks in Abu Dhabi

unian.ua (Ukrainian) —

The White House expressed cautious optimism ahead of Russia-Ukraine peace talks scheduled for November 10-11 in Abu Dhabi, marking the first such meeting with US mediators since February. US special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner worked for weeks to persuade Russian President Vladimir Putin to resume negotiations. Washington hopes recent sanctions relief on Russian diesel sales will encourage compromise, though positions remain far apart on territorial concessions. The talks will feature military and political working groups, with Ukraine prioritizing Black Sea de-escalation, halting attacks on energy infrastructure, and a potential Trump-Putin-Zelensky summit at the G20 in Miami next month.
