Russia, Ukraine and the US set for November peace talks

A fresh push to end the war in Ukraine with a new round of trilateral talks planned for Abu Dhabi in November. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov says discussions involving Russia, Ukraine and the United States are expected to take place in the first half of November, potentially around November 10th. The announcement follows a flurry of diplomatic activity by President Donald Trump's administration. U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders in Oslo before travelling to St. Petersburg for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Following those meetings, both Moscow and Kyiv signalled they were ready to return to direct negotiations, but major obstacles remain. Putin says the talks should focus on security guarantees under a final peace agreement, not simply a short-term ceasefire. As the war enters its fifth year the question remains can the new diplomacy finally deliver a lasting peace or will deep divisions derail negotiations once again
