The United States has proposed a new trilateral meeting involving Ukraine and Russia, to be held in the United Arab Emirates, aimed at discussing efforts to end the ongoing war, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. This suggestion from Washington comes following a discussion between Zelensky and US President Donald Trump at the UN General Assembly in New York.
Zelensky indicated that the proposed meeting would occur at a technical level, with the US expected to provide a specific date soon. He mentioned that the UAE has been suggested as a potential venue for these talks. The initiative underscores the US’s continued involvement in seeking a resolution to the conflict in Ukraine.
In preparation for the proposed meeting, Ukrainian and US negotiators have already begun discussing potential details. Zelensky emphasized the importance of consulting with European partners, while the United States plans to engage with Russia before any further discussions take place. This approach highlights the need for broader international cooperation to address the conflict.
The Kremlin has signaled that such talks involving Ukraine and the United States could happen shortly, although no specific details have been confirmed yet. This development suggests a willingness on multiple sides to explore diplomatic solutions to the ongoing tensions.
Additionally, President Zelensky revealed that he requested President Trump to discuss the Ukrainian conflict with Chinese President Xi Jinping during their conversations. This request aims to garner more international support for Kyiv’s efforts to reduce tensions and find a peaceful resolution.
