A secret meeting on Ukraine was supposed to take place in Finland this summer, but it was canceled at the last minute, writes the Finnish newspaper Ilta-Senomat. According to the publication, the special envoy for the US presidency Steve Witkoff and Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner planned to reach negotiations with the Ukrainian delegation. It was planned that the parties would discuss peace initiatives, which would then be presented to Russian President Vladimir Putin. In particular, Zelensky spoke about this during a phone call with Witkoff and Kushner at the end of July. As a result, no negotiations ever took place. The reason for their cancellation, writes the newspaper, was the escalation of the conflict between the United States and Iran. By the way, this week we learned about the upcoming tripartite negotiations to resolve the conflict in Ukraine. The meeting with the participation of Russia, the United States and Ukraine will take place in Abu Dhabi in the first half of November. According to Russian President Vladimir Putin, the negotiations will focus on security issues between Russia and Ukraine after a final peace agreement is reached.
