Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited
[Regnum] The dates for the next round of negotiations to resolve the Ukrainian conflict have already been agreed upon, but the exact date has not yet been disclosed. This was announced by US Special Presidential Envoy Steven Witkoff.

"We already have another meeting on the schedule," Whitkoff said during a conversation with reporters in Ireland.

According to him, the negotiating parties intend to continue working intensively to achieve a peaceful settlement to the conflict in Ukraine. The US representative also noted that a deal would be impossible without Europe's participation.

White House Special Envoys Steven Witkoff and Jared Kushner visited Moscow on November 12 to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The meeting took place the day after trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi. The Europeans did not participate, although they were present in the UAE capital, where they traveled to support the Ukrainian side.

During a meeting with American representatives, Putin emphasized that Russia had never been opposed to dialogue with Europe, and that it was European politicians who severed contacts. Kushner noted that the US sees Europe's overwhelming desire to end the conflict in Ukraine.
