Russia, Ukraine and US negotiators to meet in Abu Dhabi in November
President Zelensky and Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said technical-level talks between Ukraine, Russia and the US would resume in Abu Dhabi in the first half of November, after Putin met US envoy Steve Witkoff in St Petersburg. Putin said Russia was ready to discuss a final agreement, not a short truce. Strikes continued, with the UN reporting at least 14 civilians killed in Russian attacks overnight into Thursday.
Why it matters
Resumed talks are the latest attempt to end Europe's largest war, which continues to kill civilians.
Background
Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. US-brokered talks have taken place intermittently, including earlier rounds in the Gulf.
