This move is seen as part of Kiev's plan to close the "Kursk operation" while, at the same time, strengthening political interests and gaining the initiative in peace negotiations with Moscow.

In this context, President Zelensky could propose withdrawing troops from Kursk province as a condition for negotiations with Russia, leading to a peace negotiation plan from the Ukrainian side.

According to Finnish President Alexander Stubb, the term of new US President Donald Trump will open a new stage in negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.

Mr. Stubb hopes that the new US administration will come up with a concrete plan and respect Ukraine’s sovereignty . Previously, Mr. Stubb also opposed the idea of applying the “Finnish peace model” to this conflict.

Meanwhile, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said that Donald Trump might seek peace in Ukraine to separate Russia from China, thereby weakening Beijing's relations with other powers.

According to Mr. Vucic, this move will bring difficulties to Serbia, because Washington is considering China as a global strategic rival.

In addition, on November 6, the foreign ministers of 10 countries including the US, South Korea and Japan, along with a high-ranking representative of the European Union (EU), issued a joint statement expressing "deep concern" about North Korea sending troops to Russia.

Diplomats warn Pyongyang's direct support for Moscow's military campaign in Ukraine could "dangerously widen" the conflict.

At the same time, the joint statement also expressed concern about the possibility of Russia transferring nuclear or ballistic missile technology to North Korea, calling on Pyongyang to stop supporting Moscow's military campaign.
