Negotiations regarding Ukraine are in question due to changes to the American side's plans

Ukrainian officials have declined to confirm President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's planned visit to Brussels this week, despite his announcement that talks with the US, EU and NATO were scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday, Euronews writes.

Dmytro Lytvyn, Zelenskyy's communications adviser, told reporters on Monday that Kyiv could not confirm the visit because of changes to the American side's plans.

Speaking to Ukrainian media on Sunday, Zelenskyy said the talks were scheduled for October 27 and 28, bringing together the leaders of Ukraine, the US and the EU, as well as NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte.

Asked by Euronews about the planned talks, the European Commission said it remained engaged in diplomatic efforts but offered no further details.

According to Zelenskyy, wider discussions also involved security advisers to the leaders of Britain, France and Italy, alongside Björn Seibert, chief of staff to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

The uncertainty over the Brussels visit comes ahead of another round of negotiations between Ukrainian, American and Russian teams, which Zelenskyy said was being planned for the first half of November.

Abu Dhabi has been mentioned as a possible venue, although the date and location have yet to be confirmed.
