Russia on the potential end of the war. "We are heading in that direction"

The Kremlin dismissed U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff's proposals for ending the Ukraine war as "meaningless," yet advisor Yuri Ushakov indicated that the conflict is nearing its conclusion. Following a three-hour meeting with Putin, Ushakov stated they are moving towards an end, although he was uncertain about the timeline. Witkoff had previously met with Ukrainian and European officials in Oslo to discuss peace efforts. Ushakov confirmed Russia's readiness to resume negotiations, with talks potentially scheduled for November 10 in Abu Dhabi, focusing on post-conflict security arrangements.
