Russia-Ukraine talks planned for November in UAE: Kremlin

The Kremlin announced that trilateral negotiations involving Russia, Ukraine and the United States are planned for the first half of November in Abu Dhabi. Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said the talks are intended to help end the war, following renewed Russian openness to dialogue after US envoy Steve Witkoff met Vladimir Putin. Earlier US-brokered talks made little progress amid Russia’s demands over Ukrainian territory and NATO membership. Putin said negotiations should focus on long-term security arrangements for a final peace deal rather than a short truce.
