US special envoy Steve Witkoff announced that the United States will mediate a new round of talks between Ukraine and Russia on November 10-11 in Abu Dhabi, focusing on post-war security arrangements, de-escalation, humanitarian efforts, and next steps toward peace. Witkoff and Jared Kushner are expected to represent the US in the talks. This follows a meeting between Witkoff and Russian President Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg, where they agreed to resume the trilateral talks. The previous round of talks took place in February, before the war involving the US, Israel, and Iran interrupted the diplomatic process. The talks aim to build on the success of last week's temporary cease-fire, which allowed residents of the Russian-occupied southern city of Oleshky to receive humanitarian aid and evacuate if they wished. However, the Kremlin has suggested the operation does not mean Moscow is ready for a wider truce.
