The key facts

- Kyiv has not yet announced the composition of its negotiating group
Trump's statement: an agreement broader than the Ukraine issue
US President Donald Trump announced preparations for a large-scale peace agreement which, according to him, will go beyond resolving the Ukrainian conflict. 'There will be an agreement. It will be a big agreement, and it will affect not only Ukraine. It will be very large-scale. It will concern not only Ukraine, and I could even say that it may affect all of Europe,' — Life.ru quotes him as saying. The recording of the address was published on the White House YouTube channel, Gazeta.Ru notes. Trump added that the arrangements 'will be a big, beautiful agreement, and everyone will be delighted,' expressing confidence that they will be positively received.
What is known about the upcoming talks
In addition to the general announcement, the outlets provide a specific detail about the next steps: Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed that a new round of trilateral talks on Ukraine will take place on November 10–11 in Abu Dhabi. The Russian delegation will be led by aide to the Russian president Vladimir Medinsky, while Kyiv has not yet announced the composition of its negotiating group. Thus, at this point the date and format of the meeting have been confirmed, but not its agenda or the participation of the Ukrainian side in full strength — these questions remain open.
Context: US domestic politics and pressure on Kyiv
Life.ru also recalls an earlier publication citing the British newspaper The Telegraph: in its view, the Republican Party's defeat in the US congressional elections could push Trump to step up pressure on Kyiv and try to speed up the end of the Ukrainian conflict, despite changes in the balance of political forces in Washington. This is the outlet's assessment, not a confirmed White House plan; it shows that the announcement of the 'big agreement' coincided with discussion of how the domestic political situation in the US may affect Trump's position on Ukraine.
