## Key Points

- Zelenskyy to meet with U.S. special representatives Witkoff and Kushner in Dublin on November 11
- Before the Dublin meeting, the American delegation will travel to Russia for talks
- Kyiv calls ending the war its priority and insists on European participation in all diplomatic stages
- Kushner described a potential meeting between Zelenskyy and Putin as a good step

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced a meeting with U.S. special representatives Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, scheduled for November 11 in Dublin. The head of state reported this on his official Telegram channel, RBC-Ukraine reports. According to him, prior to this meeting, the American delegation will travel to Russia for talks, and immediately afterward, Kyiv and Washington will coordinate their positions once again.

### The Diplomatic Track

Zelenskyy explained that following trilateral negotiations between the Ukrainian, American, and Russian sides in Abu Dhabi, the U.S. delegation is traveling to Russia. "Next, the American representatives are going to Russia, and after this conversation, we will coordinate our positions again and determine what next steps are possible. We are meeting with them tomorrow in Dublin," the president stated. Thus, the Dublin meeting becomes the next stage in a chain of consultations built around American intermediaries.

### Results of Previous Rounds

The head of state emphasized that important results had already been achieved during the previous meetings in Abu Dhabi. Among them are a humanitarian agreement to prepare for a new prisoner exchange; a discussion of views on a future security architecture, where Ukraine insists that the first step must be ending the war and providing reliable guarantees; and the coordination of broader diplomatic formats involving European partners.

### Kyiv's Stance: Pressure on Russia and European Participation

Zelenskyy outlined Ukraine's main priority as ending the war as soon as possible with a "dignified peace." To achieve this, according to him, the U.S. must maintain a strong negotiating position and exert influence on Russia to force it to end the war. Kyiv also insists on the mandatory participation of Europe at all stages of the diplomatic process.

### Possible Meeting Between Zelenskyy and Putin

Against the backdrop of preparations for new contacts, U.S. President-elect's son-in-law Jared Kushner spoke about a possible meeting between Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin, noting that such negotiations to end the war would be a good step. Zelenskyy himself, describing the course of the dialogue, stated that the Russian representatives at the Abu Dhabi talks claimed "fictional successes on the front," which have nothing to do with reality, adding that Putin "lives in his own distorted reality."
