Ukraine Official Expects Russian 'Technical Talks' Soon

Budanov said the next round would focus on technical steps as both sides keep striking logistics, ports and energy facilities.

  • On Friday, presidential adviser Kyrylo Budanov announced that technical talks regarding the war will likely occur soon, though he does not expect a swift agreement.
  • US-Backed peace talks have yielded no tangible results in the war's fifth year, while the Russian Federation demands withdrawal from the eastern Donbas area, a condition Kyiv refuses to accept.
  • The International Atomic Energy Agency reported three drone incidents at the Russian-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant earlier this week; radiation levels remained normal despite two employees being injured.
  • Budanov called expectations of the war ending through winter "unrealistic," emphasizing that negotiations will prioritize technical matters over immediate diplomatic breakthroughs between the two sides.
  • As winter approaches, Russia is expected to renew its campaign targeting energy facilities, while both sides have recently intensified attacks on logistics and port infrastructure.
