Media: Ukraine and the USA want to accelerate peace talks with Russia

Russia initially proposed a meeting in mid-November, but Ukraine seeks an earlier date due to winter concerns. Kyiv does not expect breakthroughs but hopes for regular talks and specific outcomes, such as prisoner exchanges. Territorial issues remain a major obstacle, with Russia insisting on a 'territory for peace' formula. Ukraine aims to shift discussions from territorial concessions to future security arrangements. U.S. representatives are involved in negotiations, and there are ongoing talks about the potential return of Russian gas to Europe, linked to Ukraine's reconstruction funding. The exact date for the trilateral talks is yet to be confirmed, with locations under consideration including the UAE and Switzerland.
