Negotiations between Ukraine, the US and Russia provisionally scheduled for 4 November — Tusk
Trilateral talks between Ukraine, the US and Russia could take place on 4 November in Abu Dhabi, immediately after the US midterm elections. This was said by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, APA reports citing The Guardian.
“There should be no illusions that an agreement will be reached,” Tusk warned, commenting on the prospects for talks with Russia.
According to the Polish prime minister, prior to this Finland’s president Alexander Stubb and Norway’s prime minister Jonas Gahr Støre held a phone call with Putin. European leaders coordinated this contact in advance with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky and the American side.
After the call, Stubb informed Tusk of its results. Although the parties remained in their positions, European leaders developed a “very cautious optimism” about possible progress at the talks in Abu Dhabi.
Earlier Zelensky said that Ukraine is ready for a meeting of negotiation teams in the first half of November.
“We are ready to meet any day—even tomorrow. But everything depends on the Russians,” the President said, speaking at the American think tank Hudson Institute.
Zelensky also emphasized that after talks at the team level it is necessary to move on to a leaders’ meeting, because key issues can only be resolved at the highest level. Ukraine is ready to discuss a complete ceasefire or separate agreements on energy and maritime operations.
Incredible, but true…
