Zelenskyy hopes to hold peace talks with Russia in November

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed hope that peace talks between his country and Russia, with the involvement of the United States, will take place between November 6 and 10.

Ukrainian media outlets say Zelenskyy made the remark on Wednesday during a joint news conference with Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten. Zelenskyy said he expects the trilateral talks to be held at a technical level in Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates.

Russia's state-run TASS news agency reported on Wednesday that Russian presidential aide Yury Ushakov said the date would be announced soon. Meanwhile, Ukrainian and Russian officials posted on social media on Wednesday that a ceasefire in the southern Ukrainian city of Oleshky remains in place. The localized truce took effect the previous day.
