Possibilities are rising that the trilateral talks between the United States, Russia, and Ukraine to discuss ways to end the war in Ukraine could resume as early as the beginning of next month.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has proposed holding the trilateral talks between November 6 and 10.
President Zelenskyy expected that the U.S. side would finalize the schedule for the talks around November 4, after the U.S. midterm elections conclude.
Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates is being strongly discussed as the potential venue for the talks.
Russia has also acknowledged that the talks will be held after November 4.
However, it showed a cautious stance regarding the specific dates.
Yuri Ushakov, Aide to the Russian President for Foreign Policy, stated that the date of the talks depends on the situation on the battlefield and the overall political climate, adding that the schedule is still under review.
Regarding U.S. President Donald Trump's remarks that trilateral talks would be held "soon," the Kremlin avoided giving a definitive answer, stating that the expression "soon" is fluid.
Previously in January and February, the United States, Russia, and Ukraine held three rounds of negotiations to end the war.
Through the negotiations, they exchanged 314 prisoners of war, but failed to narrow differences on core issues such as territorial disputes.
In the fourth round of talks being pursued after about nine months, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy is presenting key agendas such as a limited ceasefire regarding energy facilities and at sea, along with an additional prisoner exchange.
However, prevailing analyses suggest it is difficult to expect immediate substantive agreements leading up to the end of the war, given the wide gaps in positions over the core issue of territory.
