POLICY WIRE — Abu Dhabi, UAE — A high-ranking Ukrainian official has voiced a sense of restrained optimism regarding the possibility of a future meeting between President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin.
This cautious hope comes as the international community prepares for significant diplomatic engagement involving Ukraine, Russia, and the United States.
Delegations from all three nations are scheduled to convene in Abu Dhabi on November 10 and 11. This gathering marks the first time these three parties have engaged in trilateral diplomatic discussions since February.
