Russia says 'battlefield situation' will determine when Ukraine peace talks begin

Russia's negotiations with the U.S. and Ukraine regarding the war's end will depend on battlefield conditions, according to Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov. The trilateral talks, potentially resuming in Abu Dhabi after Nov. 4, have not yet been scheduled. President Zelensky anticipates discussions in mid-November, but no date has been confirmed by Washington. The negotiations aim to address issues like a ceasefire and the return of abducted Ukrainian children, although significant breakthroughs are not expected.
