US to mediate trilateral talks with Ukraine, Russia in Abu Dhabi next week, US envoy says

In a social media post, US envoy Steve Witkoff said the new Abu Dhabi discussions will cover "post-war security agreements, de-escalation, humanitarian measures, and ending the war."

US envoy Steve Witkoff announced that Ukraine and Russia will engage in trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi from November 10-11 to address the conflict. The discussions will focus on post-war security agreements, de-escalation measures, humanitarian efforts, and ultimately ending the ongoing war. Witkoff, alongside Jared Kushner, the lead negotiators, will represent the US in the talks. Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to the new round of negotiations following their meeting in St. Petersburg two weeks ago.

American negotiators are currently in Brussels, collaborating with representatives from France, Germany, Britain, the European Union, and NATO. The meetings aim to discuss Ukraine's security guarantees, the future security framework for Europe, and economic support for Ukraine's reconstruction. These talks build upon prior discussions among the involved parties, reflecting President Trump's ongoing efforts to achieve a lasting peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine.

Despite the parties' significant differences on the terms of a potential peace deal, President Trump has recently intensified pressure on Ukraine to reach some form of agreement.
