Russia-Ukraine Conflict: Now a new update has emerged in the 4-year-long war between Russia and Ukraine. Russia has announced to hold trilateral peace talks with America and Ukraine in the coming month of November. According to media reports, Russia has agreed to trilateral peace talks with America and Ukraine. This is kind of a big update. If consensus is reached then there may be a ceasefire soon. This will be good not only for Russia and Ukraine but for the whole world.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed on Friday that the meeting will take place in the United Arab Emirates next month. Russia's agreement to restart these talks, which had been stalled since the beginning of the year, came after a meeting between President Vladimir Putin and US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff in St. Petersburg this week. This announcement comes after intensified diplomatic efforts by the administration of US President Donald Trump. Steve Witkoff spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders in Oslo on Tuesday, before meeting Putin on Wednesday.
Talks may take place around November 10
After these meetings, both Kiev and Moscow have expressed their desire to resume direct talks brokered by Washington. Russia, which could launch a full-scale attack against Ukraine in February 2022, has suggested that talks could take place 'around November 10', while Zelensky has called for these discussions to be held 'as soon as possible'. Meanwhile, in a TV interview broadcast late Thursday night, Putin said that the main focus of any trilateral talks would be on the security arrangements for a final peace agreement, and not on any 'short-term' ceasefire.
This development has come to light at a time when relations between America and Russia seem to be strengthening. Vladimir Putin has agreed to resume trilateral peace talks with Ukraine and the US. Volodymyr Zelensky has demanded that these discussions be held 'as soon as possible'. During his visit to St. Petersburg, Steve Witkoff described Putin as a 'humanitarian'. This was said when the Russian leader announced that Moscow had released Stephen Hubbard. Hubbard is a 74-year-old retired American teacher, who was imprisoned in Russia since 2022.
Sitting face to face in the Constantine Palace on Wednesday, Mr Witkoff told Putin that you often say about my President, President Trump, that he is a humanitarian. Sir, you are also a humanitarian. This comment was widely criticized and many commentators condemned Mr. Witkoff. 'Washington Post' columnist Max Boot described the moment as 'disgusting and shameful'. At the same time, Anne Applebaum of 'The Atlantic' raised the question that how can a leader whose army kills civilians, abducts children, and who has permission to torture and rape people, be called a 'humanitarian'?
Criticism of Russia-US relations
This praise comes at a very uncomfortable time for the White House. His increasingly close relations with Moscow are being criticized, especially when Donald Trump is putting pressure on Kiev (Ukraine) for a negotiated settlement and trying to strengthen economic ties with Russia. Donald Trump has insisted that Mr Hubbard has been released without any terms of return (that is, without the US giving anything in return).
America thanked Putin
Steve Witkoff also used the meeting to thank Putin because Russia has lifted export restrictions on its diesel. This announcement was made when the American representatives reached there. Under an agreement with Donald Trump, diesel consignments from Russia will soon be sent to America. Steve Witkoff said that I want to thank you for your decision to remove export controls on diesel oil from Russia and sell it not only to America, but to the whole world.
