President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, at a briefing with Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin, stated that Kyiv expects to receive a reaction from the Russian side to a number of proposals regarding the cessation of hostilities. According to him, this primarily concerns the humanitarian track, energy, and the so-called grain corridor. Zelenskyy noted that U.S. President-elect's envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner could bring answers as early as tomorrow to the issues raised during the meeting in Abu Dhabi. ### Humanitarian Track and Prisoner Exchange The head of the Ukrainian state separately focused on the issue of prisoner exchange. According to him, the parties discussed the possibility of an exchange in a "1000 for 1000" format, and possibly even "1200 for 1200." Zelenskyy called such an outcome "very positive" and stated that he sees no reason why Russia would refuse, while adding that "anything can happen." ### Security Guarantees and Europe's Role Among the key topics, the Ukrainian President named several formats of security guarantees for Kyiv. He emphasized that this is not the first time the issue of guarantees has been raised, but "major details" were discussed directly during the dialogue between the parties. Zelenskyy also noted the importance of the decision to appoint a negotiator from Europe, which, according to him, is currently supported by the U.S. He expressed hope that next time Europe will participate in negotiations not "on the sidelines of the meeting," but as an equal participant. ### Trilateral Meeting and Territorial Issues Furthermore, the possibility of a trilateral meeting was discussed. Zelenskyy explained that for it to take place at the leadership level, decisions are needed on a number of issues for which current negotiators have no mandate. First and foremost, he cited territorial issues and other related topics. ### Truce, Energy, and Naval Blockade The President of Ukraine listed the topics raised: ceasefire, energy truce, maritime ceasefire, and protection of critical infrastructure. However, according to him, the Russian side claims it lacks the mandate to respond to these questions. Nevertheless, Zelenskyy noted, the parties agreed that the American side would meet with Vladimir Putin and raise all the listed topics. He expects to receive a response and meet in Dublin in the evening. ### Timeline of Negotiations and Kushner's Comments As previously reported by RBC-Ukraine, the meeting of U.S. special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner with Vladimir Putin is scheduled for November 12 in the first half of the day. Kushner also commented on the possibility of a meeting between Zelenskyy and Putin, stating that negotiations between the leaders of the two countries to end the war would be a positive step.
