Russia, US, Ukraine to hold trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11

Russia, the United States, and Ukraine will hold trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11, confirmed Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov. The Russian delegation will be led by presidential adviser Vladimir Medinsky. The US will mediate the technical-level negotiations, with American envoy Steve Witkoff stating the discussions will focus on post-war security arrangements, de-escalation, humanitarian efforts, and next steps toward peace. US negotiators will also meet with European and NATO representatives in Brussels this week. The talks follow reported US support for resuming Russian natural gas sales to Europe via Ukrainian pipelines, potentially through an American intermediary to bypass sanctions. Witkoff expressed hope to consolidate progress from previous meetings in Kiev, Oslo, and St. Petersburg.
