Zelensky's confirmation comes after Russian Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov previously announced that a trilateral meeting was being arranged, with the UAE selected as the venue for the diplomatic engagement.
The planned November gathering represents a rare opportunity for direct dialogue between the three parties amid ongoing tensions stemming from Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The decision to hold talks in the UAE reflects efforts to find neutral ground for negotiations.
Details regarding the specific timing, location within the UAE, and agenda items for the trilateral meeting have not been fully disclosed. The confirmation from Ukraine's leadership, however, signals willingness to engage in multilateral discussions aimed at addressing the conflict.
The proposed talks come as international efforts continue to seek pathways toward de-escalation and potential resolution of the Ukraine crisis. The involvement of the United States underscores its role as a key stakeholder in the ongoing situation.
