My team will meet with the American team, I think this will be the first trilateral meeting in the Emirates, it will be tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. This will be a two-day meeting in the Emirates. I hope the Emirates know about it. (...) But in any case, they will go there. I think it's good if this trilateral meeting starts at a technical level.
"I hope we'll find some... I don't know, the Russians should be ready for compromises, because, you know, everyone should be ready, not just Ukraine, and this is important for us. So we'll see what the results will be," the President continued.

Earlier, Bloomberg reported that Kremlin head Vladimir Putin received a draft peace plan earlier this month through his aide Kirill Dmitriev, which was agreed upon with Ukrainian and European counterparts. The documents, as stated, were unofficially handed over to Moscow for review, allowing Putin to prepare feedback and propose changes before the expected visit of US President Donald Trump's envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law.
US negotiators met with Ukrainian negotiators yesterday, and Zelenskyy met with Trump today, after which he stated that the work of the teams within the framework of peace negotiations was discussed, where "the documents are even more prepared."
