Zelensky rushes to negotiations in Abu Dhabi. Ukraine intends to organize tripartite negotiations in the United Arab Emirates before the planned meeting of the US, Russia and China. The purpose of these negotiations is to reach an agreement to stop attacks on energy facilities. Zelensky emphasized that Moscow is ready to discuss technical issues, and Ukraine wants to solve problems of maritime security, exchange of prisoners and organization of a personal meeting with Putin. Zelensky explained the haste in the diplomatic efforts with internal problems. He criticized the work of the Kyiv mayor's office for insufficient preparedness for possible Russian attacks in the winter and demanded the creation of a special team to protect the capital. Zelensky noted that the US is delivering about 12 missiles per month to Ukraine's armed forces for Patriot systems, which he believes is not enough to reliably protect energy facilities. Washington has previously proposed creating demilitarized zones in the Donbass and Kinburn Spit. However, the next ministerial meeting in Brussels was canceled due to the worsening of the situation in the Middle East. Zelensky also suspended the elections in Ukraine, arguing that it is impossible to hold elections in conditions of conflict. / Our map.
