Zelensky: Next Talks Could Be Held in the UAE or Switzerland
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the next round of talks could take place in the United Arab Emirates or Switzerland. The choice of venue depends on the negotiating teams.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said at a press conference in Dublin that the next talks, connected with Russia's war against Ukraine, could be held either in the United Arab Emirates or in Switzerland. According to him, the final venue has not been chosen and depends on agreement between the teams involved.
Zelensky stressed that Ukraine is open to different options. He said his message to partners had been simple: if possible, work faster. The president referred to the recent meeting and urged moving forward rather than stopping at what has been achieved.
What came before
The source indicates that on 12 November Zelensky met with representatives of the US president, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff. After that meeting, the Ukrainian leader announced an upcoming "largest" exchange of prisoners of war between Ukraine and Russia.
The source gives no details on how many prisoners of war might be exchanged, and it names no specific dates or participants for the next talks. Those questions will likely be clarified later, once the teams agree on the format and venue.
