Zelenskyy Says US Has Proposed Technical-Level Trilateral Talks With Russia
Ukraine's president says Kyiv is awaiting a proposed meeting date from Washington, which has suggested the UAE as a venue.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the United States has proposed technical-level trilateral talks involving Washington, Kyiv and Moscow, according to Anadolu Agency.
Speaking to journalists, Zelenskyy said Ukraine is waiting for the US to propose a specific date for the meeting. He added that Washington has suggested the United Arab Emirates as a potential venue for the talks.
The available reporting does not specify the intended agenda for the technical-level discussions, which officials would represent each side, or whether Russia has responded to the proposal. It is also unclear how these talks would relate to any broader diplomatic process aimed at ending the war.
The UAE has previously served as a venue for other diplomatic contacts and prisoner-exchange arrangements related to the Russia-Ukraine war, though no further detail on its proposed role in this instance was included in the source material.
