He expressed hope that the meeting would pave the way for talks between himself, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and US President Donald Trump.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Friday that trilateral talks involving Russia, Ukraine, and the US would resume in Abu Dhabi in early November.
Peskov said the talks will focus on security issues concerning both Russia and Ukraine, noting that a comprehensive resolution to the Ukraine crisis would require addressing the security concerns of both countries.
Abu Dhabi hosted a meeting among the three countries earlier this year, but the format subsequently stalled.
