Ukraine-Russia talks set for November

Negotiations mediated by the United States between Russia and Ukraine are set to take place on November 10 and 11 in Abu Dhabi, according to American envoy Steve Witkoff.

Russia shows willingness to resume talks

Russia had indicated at the end of October that it was ready to resume peace talks, which have been at a standstill since the beginning of the year.

Last trilateral meeting in February

The last trilateral meeting between Russian, Ukrainian, and American delegations took place in mid-February in Geneva, Switzerland, without resolving the conflict, with both sides maintaining their positions.

Focus of upcoming discussions

The discussions will focus on post-war security arrangements, de-escalation, humanitarian efforts, and the next steps toward peace, according to Witkoff.

U.S. negotiators to meet allies

American negotiators will travel to Brussels during the week to meet representatives of France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and NATO to discuss security guarantees for Ukraine.

Russian strikes cause casualties

Reports indicate that several Russian strikes against a school where humanitarian aid was being distributed caused at least 26 deaths.

Resumption of combat in Kherson

These strikes occurred as Moscow has resumed combat and bombings in the neighboring region of Kherson (south), following a rare local truce negotiated to evacuate the city of Olechky, which had been occupied by the Russians.
