Efforts to negotiate an end to the war had gone quiet for months, with talks between Russia, Ukraine and the United States stalled. Now there is movement. President Volodymyr Zelensky says a new round of negotiations is planned in Abu Dhabi in November. He gave few details on who would attend or what issues would be tabled. The United Arab Emirates has acted as a go-between before, hosting prisoner exchanges and mediating on grain and energy questions. Whether Russians and Ukrainians will sit in the same room this time remains to be seen. Any progress would break from a diplomatic track that has produced little over the past year.
