Abu Dhabi peace talks begin November 10 with Ukraine, US, Russia, and European delegates
Peace talks involving Ukraine, the US, and Russia begin in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11, with European representatives also present. The Ukrainian delegation is led by foreign intelligence chief Rustem Umerov, focusing on security guarantees, ceasefire, and ending the war. The Ukrainian team includes presidential office head Kyrylo Budanov, lawmaker David Arakhamia, and military intelligence officials. Russia's delegation is again led by Vladimir Medinsky. European security advisors from Germany, France, Britain, and NATO will attend. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says security guarantees for Ukraine and Europe are the key topic. Arakhamia expects minimal results from the first round but more from the second, while US envoy Jared Kushner outlined priorities including ceasefire and post-war security arrangements.
