Diplomatic talks involving Russia, Ukraine and the United States are planned to resume in November in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Friday.
The announcement signals a possible return to negotiations after discussions between the three countries remained stalled since the beginning of the year. However, the proposed resumption does not yet confirm that an agreement to end the war is within reach.
According to Peskov, Russia has indicated its readiness to restart the talks following a meeting earlier this week in Saint Petersburg between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Steve Witkoff, the U.S. special envoy.
The meeting appears to have helped reopen the possibility of diplomatic engagement, although details about the proposed November discussions and their agenda have not been provided in the available report.
Abu Dhabi is expected to host the next round of discussions, bringing representatives of the three countries together in an effort to revive negotiations. The talks could provide an opportunity to address the conflict through diplomacy after months of stalled engagement.
The planned meeting comes amid continued international attention on efforts to find a political solution to the Russia-Ukraine war. The involvement of the United States alongside Russia and Ukraine highlights Washington’s role in the diplomatic process.
For now, the November talks remain planned rather than completed, and their outcome is uncertain. Key questions include which issues will be prioritised, whether the parties can narrow their differences and whether the renewed discussions can produce concrete progress toward peace.
The announcement nevertheless raises hopes for renewed diplomatic contact between the countries involved in the conflict.
