Putin agrees to UAE peace talks with the US and Ukraine but insists they are not for a 'short' truce
Steve Witkoff (right), the top Trump aide, with Vladimir Putin, as a Kremlin aide said a new round of three-way peace talks could be held around 10 November in Abu Dhabi.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the talks will take place 'around November 10'. They have been stalled since the start of the year. The move follows US envoy Steve Witkoff's meeting with President Vladimir Putin in Saint Petersburg on Wednesday, a day after he met Volodymyr Zelensky in Oslo. Putin says the talks must focus on security arrangements for a final deal.
Witkoff told Putin 'you are a humanitarian also' after Moscow freed American teacher Stephen Hubbard.
A Ukrainian official says Kyiv has only 'a couple' of Patriot interceptors left.
Ukraine launched 630 drones at the Moscow region on Thursday.
