Ukraine, Russia, and US to hold technical talks in Abu Dhabi
Negotiators from Ukraine, Russia, and the United States have agreed to hold technical-level talks in the first half of November. The meetings are expected to take place in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, as part of efforts to find a path toward ending the conflict.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that any potential peace agreement must include robust security guarantees for Ukraine and ten years of military funding. Zelenskyy noted he has been in communication with US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff following their meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Russia has expressed a principle readiness to participate in these discussions after November 4, once domestic political processes in the US conclude. While the upcoming talks are considered preliminary, there is hope for subsequent high-level meetings between the leaders of the three nations.
Separately, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that Starlink and Starshield satellite connection speeds in Ukraine have returned to required levels after recent limitations had impacted military operations and drone usage.
