By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Businessday
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s envoy said Moscow was ready to resume negotiations with Ukraine and the United States, with a possible new session around 10 November in Abu Dhabi. The proposal repeats a report already published on Putin’s acceptance of talks, while Businessday’s account also mentions Emmanuel Macron’s criticism of foreign reactions to riots in France.
Russia is ready in principle to resume negotiations with Ukraine and the United States to end the war, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s adviser Yuri Ushakov said after meeting US President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff in St Petersburg. A new round of talks could take place around 10 November in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, according to Businessday.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, for his part, called for discussions to resume “as soon as possible” after talks with Steve Witkoff and European leaders in Oslo. The discussions covered security guarantees for Ukraine and a proposed ceasefire in the energy sector, but Yuri Ushakov said the proposals were of little use, leaving the prospect of a breakthrough uncertain.
The Russian announcement followed Volodymyr Zelensky’s talks with Steve Witkoff in Oslo on 21 October Zelensky meets US envoy Steve Witkoff, and Vladimir Putin’s acceptance of talks with Kyiv and Washington on the same day talks with Kyiv and Washington.
