US President Donald Trump said he was seeing a “very strong inclination” toward ending the Russia–Ukraine war. He said he believed both countries were tired of fighting and wanted peace. Trump also rejected a journalist’s suggestion that Russia was not seeking a settlement.

Trump said the United States was actively working to bring the two sides together and that discussions aimed at ending the war were under way. He said he was making the effort to stop people from being killed.

A new round of trilateral talks involving Russia, Ukraine and the United States is scheduled to take place in Abu Dhabi on November 10 and 11. The Russian delegation will be led by presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky, while Ukraine’s team will be headed by Foreign Intelligence Service chief Rustem Umerov. Russian officials have said security guarantees will be a key subject of discussion.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said European representatives would not take part in the trilateral talks because that format had been agreed from the outset. However, reports say European officials are expected to coordinate separately with Ukrainian and US representatives during the discussions.
