Ongoing diplomatic efforts under US President Donald Trump have centered on reviving Russia-Ukraine talks, including proposals for technical-level trilateral meetings possibly in Abu Dhabi and an energy ceasefire to halt strikes on infrastructure. Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly conditioned any direct encounter with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on a Moscow venue while expressing readiness for negotiations after September parliamentary elections, though he cited recent Ukrainian drone attacks as disruptions. Zelenskyy has rejected Moscow as the site, advocated a neutral location or trilateral format with Trump, and identified the December G20 summit in Miami as a key potential opportunity. Kremlin statements emphasize the need for prior expert-level preparation, leaving the timing and format of any leaders' meeting unresolved amid continued battlefield activity.
