Zelenskyy: Abu Dhabi talks to focus on energy and Black Sea ceasefires, prisoner exchange
The talks in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday will focus on an energy ceasefire, a ceasefire in the Black Sea, and preparations for a meeting at the leaders' level, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
On November 11, Ukrainian negotiators reported the opening of a second day of trilateral peace talks involving Ukraine, Russia, and the United States. According to Rustem Umerov, the head of Ukraine's negotiating team, the focus initially will be a joint meeting of all three nations. Following this, a separate session with European partners is planned.
Umerov's delegation comprises key figures such as Davyd Arakhamia, Serhii Kyslytsia, and Vadym Skibitskyi. The Russian side will be led by Vladimir Medinsky, alongside Sergei Ryabkov and Mikhail Galuzin. The previous day's discussions, held in Abu Dhabi, covered security guarantees, Moscow's demands, and Ukraine's post-war future, including a significant prisoner exchange of 1,000 or 1,500 prisoners.
Observers suggest Russia seeks to reshape European security architecture during these talks, potentially reviving 2021 ultimatums regarding NATO's presence in Europe.
