US Proposes Trilateral Technical Talks Between Ukraine and Russia in UAE

The United States has proposed technical-level trilateral talks with Ukraine and Russia, with the United Arab Emirates suggested as the venue. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Kyiv is waiting for Washington to propose a date. The proposed meeting is part of broader U.S. diplomatic efforts to advance discussions on ending the war, though no talks have been scheduled.
Zelenskyy said Ukraine is pursuing other possible routes to a ceasefire alongside the proposed trilateral format, including energy and maritime ceasefires.
Zelenskyy said the so-called “Anchorage Agreements,” which included Russia’s demands for recognition of its sovereignty over occupied Ukrainian territories, were no longer on the negotiating table.
The Kremlin said it had not decided whether Putin would attend the G20 summit in Miami after receiving an invitation; it had also previously rejected a Putin-Zelenskyy meeting at the summit, with spokesman Dmitry Peskov saying the two leaders could meet only in Moscow.
Ukraine’s presidential communications adviser denied reports of a separate trilateral meeting in New York, saying the Ukrainian delegation was already heading home.
