Russia has confirmed that new peace talks with Ukraine, mediated by the United States, will take place next week in Abu Dhabi. According to official statements, the negotiations are scheduled for November 10-11 and will focus on post-war security arrangements, de-escalation measures, and humanitarian issues, with the aim of reaching a breakthrough to end the conflict that began with Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022. Concurrently, First Lady Melania Trump is set to host Russian and Ukrainian representatives at the White House to discuss a localized ceasefire she helped broker in the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky, in Ukraine's Kherson region. The temporary truce allowed nearly 800 civilians to evacuate and humanitarian aid to reach the area, though Ukrainian officials claim Russia used the pause to reinforce military positions. The resumption of diplomatic negotiations marks the first face-to-face talks between Russian and Ukrainian delegations since previous efforts were suspended.
