Another breakthrough: The Russians announced joint talks with Ukraine and the USA. Europe was not invited.

Trilateral talks involving representatives from Russia, the USA, and Ukraine are scheduled for early November in Abu Dhabi, focusing on post-peace security. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov emphasized the importance of security for both Russia and Ukraine, noting that discussions about European security cannot occur without European representatives. The talks were proposed by US negotiator Steve Witkoff after discussions with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European officials. Meanwhile, Ukraine continues to defend against Russian aggression, with recent drone attacks reported in various regions.
