Abu Dhabi trilateral talks to address post-war security for Russia and Ukraine

Planned trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi will address security for Russia and Ukraine after hostilities end, according to Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov, who stressed the need to find common ground and begin serious discussions. Ushakov stated that European representatives appearing in Abu Dhabi would not constitute their participation in the negotiations, suggesting they might only receive occasional briefings from Ukrainians or Americans. Ukraine is expected to confirm the trilateral meeting with the US and Russia, likely held November 6-10. Russia has previously sent mixed signals about Abu Dhabi as the venue and opposes EU presence at the table. Meanwhile, the US considers Germany, France, and Britain as the most probable participants in talks to end the war, referencing the E3 format.
