Negotiators from Ukraine, Russia, and the United States are meeting in Abu Dhabi for trilateral talks, marking the first such discussion between the three nations in more than nine months. According to Euronews, the talks are scheduled for November 10–11. France 24 reports that Washington is pushing for an end to the war as Kyiv faces pressure regarding potential territorial concessions.
European representatives are also attending the meeting, which NDTV notes is occurring amid alarm that US President Donald Trump could float a deal with Moscow regarding European security.
The composition of the delegations suggests differing objectives. Euronews reports that the Ukrainian team, led by Foreign Intelligence Service head Rustem Umerov, includes Kyrylo Budanov, Davyd Arakhamia, and Serhii Kyslytsia, signaling a push for a ceasefire. The Russian delegation includes senior officials such as Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, which Euronews suggests may indicate an intent to expand negotiations to include Europe's wider security architecture.
While The National Business notes that the meeting aims to focus on ending the conflict in Europe, the prospect of a breakthrough remains uncertain. Channel News Asia states that although President Trump has pushed for an end to the war since returning to power, previous talks have not produced breakthroughs.
