A U.S. delegation is scheduled to mediate trilateral peace talks involving representatives from Russia, Ukraine, and the United States

An ongoing armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine that was sparked with Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 and escalated into a full-scale invasion in February 2022, resulting in widespread casualties, displacement and significant geopolitical consequences for Europe and the world.

Moscow has expressed willingness in principle to resume technical negotiations with Washington and Kyiv, with Abu Dhabi suggested as a venue in November. The meeting arrangements remain unsettled, alongside deep disagreements about territory and future security guarantees.
