A new round of Russia-Ukraine talks will take place in Abu Dhabi on November 10–11. Medinsky will head the Russian delegation

Delegations from Russia, the United States and Ukraine will meet in the UAE capital on November 10 and 11, US presidential special envoy Steve Witkoff announced. He said the meeting would address postwar security guarantees, de-escalation, humanitarian measures and further steps toward peace.

Before the meeting, the US delegation will hold working meetings in Brussels. Representatives of France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the European Union and NATO will take part.

Vladimir Putin’s aide Vladimir Medinsky will remain head of the Russian delegation at the talks, presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said.

🩵Verstka previously reported that Russian officials do not expect the new attempt at trilateral talks between Russia, Ukraine and the United States to bring the war to a swift end.

Verstka’s sources do not expect Donald Trump’s rapprochement with the Kremlin to bring the war to a swift end. They hope to use the rift between Washington and Kyiv and Trump’s rapprochement with the Kremlin to gain economic benefits, including from diesel supplies.
