Zelenskyy says Washington wants technical-level talks by October’s end.

US ceasefire efforts have paused since the war on Iran began.

Kyiv would meet in the United Arab Emirates or another country Washington proposes, and Washington has contacted Moscow, Zelenskyy said.

Both sides say they will intensify long-range strikes, and Russia says it targets Ukraine’s energy sector.

No meeting is agreed, and no Russian reply to the offer has been reported.
