Russia says date for Russia-US-Ukraine talks still being coordinated

Calling the talks "decisive" while the date remains unset is itself the signal: Moscow is setting expectations before logistics are locked, which puts the burden of delivery on the mediators rather than the Kremlin. For markets exposed to energy, grain and European risk assets, the practical read is that nothing is confirmed until a date appears — a venue and a label are not a ceasefire. The open question is whether the Abu Dhabi format survives contact with the parties' preconditions, and whether Washington's role as broker holds if the schedule slips again.
