On Monday, 26 October, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that a trilateral meeting involving Ukraine, Russia and the United States is scheduled for November. The meeting is intended to revive peace negotiations that have been stalled for several months. In a television interview, Zelensky said, “We are ready to discuss.” He added that territorial issues must be addressed at the level of heads of state, while other matters could be handled by technical groups. “All of this can be discussed in November,” he said, stressing that the technical talks should lead to concrete outcomes. Zelensky also reiterated his call for an energy ceasefire, adding that Ukraine needs guarantees on security, the size of its armed forces and its alliances. “Grant us an energy ceasefire, a maritime ceasefire, wheat,” he said. He expressed that a meeting between him and Russian President Vladimir Poutine is essential for the war to be fully concluded, and that the territorial question is a “red line” that can only be tackled at the leadership level. The president described the proposed talks as a possible political maneuver by Moscow and expressed doubt that the meeting would take place, noting that the Kremlin has repeatedly declined such summits. On 23 October, Moscow announced that a summit would be held in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, but the invitation was not accepted by the Ukrainian side. Peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia have been on hold for months, with direct talks in 2025 failing to produce a settlement as both sides remained firm on their positions. U.S. President Donald Trump has recently urged Ukraine to return to the negotiation table, adding pressure on Kyiv to engage in talks. Article source: LCI | Image credit: LCI
