# Russia is setting dates for peace talks while rejecting a ceasefire

Russia is setting dates for peace talks while rejecting a ceasefire.

Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov says Moscow and Washington have begun coordinating dates for Russia-US-Ukraine talks in Abu Dhabi, expected in November.

Same day, Kremlin spokesman Peskov said Russia opposes any ceasefire that would give Ukraine a "breather," and that Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries won't derail the talks.

Hours earlier, the Kremlin accused Kyiv of ignoring Trump's request to stop hitting refineries.

Talks without a ceasefire let the battlefield keep setting the terms.
