Abu Dhabi, Moscow, Dublin: What Ukraine peace talks achieved

Russia, Ukraine, and the United States held their first trilateral peace talks since February in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, November 10, discussing security guarantees and a prisoner exchange over four hours. On Wednesday, November 11, the second day focused solely on postwar European security, with Kyiv officials saying Russia refused to discuss a ceasefire, territories, or energy. The only public agreement was the largest prisoner exchange of the war, though talks ended in under two hours. Negotiators described "good momentum" but acknowledged the process remains difficult, with the meetings spanning Abu Dhabi, Moscow, and Dublin amid a broader crisis of trust between the parties.
