Story summary

US special envoy Steve Witkoff met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders in Oslo before meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin in Saint Petersburg on October 21, as part of intensified diplomatic efforts to resolve the Ukraine-Russia conflict. Following these meetings, Russia announced trilateral peace talks involving the US, Ukraine, and Russia would take place in November in the United Arab Emirates, aiming to restart stalled negotiations. Zelensky expressed readiness for territorial discussions at a leadership level during this meeting, while emphasizing other issues should be addressed by technical groups. However, President Trump's push to end the war has faced criticism, with some suggesting it undermines Ukraine's position as an invaded nation and favors Russia. Despite these efforts, there is skepticism about achieving immediate progress in peace talks due to ongoing tensions and differing positions between the conflicting parties.
