Tusk names date of Ukraine-Russia-US talks in Abu Dhabi

A new round of talks between Ukraine, the US and Russia is tentatively scheduled for November 4 in the capital of the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi.

This was stated by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, as quoted by the British newspaper The Guardian.

According to Tusk, it would be useful for European politicians to establish working contacts in connection with the planned ceasefire talks that may take place in Abu Dhabi.

“It would be useful for European politicians to establish working contacts in connection with the planned ceasefire talks that may take place in Abu Dhabi,” Tusk added.

Meanwhile, the leader of the Servant of the People faction and member of the Ukrainian delegation, David Arakhamia, did not confirm this information. According to him, consultations on the date of the meeting are still ongoing.

Earlier, the Kremlin said that trilateral talks between Ukraine, the US and Russia on settling the war were planned to be held in the UAE capital Abu Dhabi in the first half of November.

Today, for the first time since last year, Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre spoke with Russian leader Vladimir Putin about settling the war in Ukraine.

Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov suggested that Putin’s phone conversation with Stubb and Støre could, under certain circumstances, influence the course of contacts in Abu Dhabi with Ukraine, but that it was premature to speak about this for now.
