Security guarantees top agenda at Abu Dhabi talks on Ukraine, Rubio says

Security guarantees for Ukraine and Europe's future security architecture will be key topics at Russia-Ukraine talks scheduled for November 10-11 in Abu Dhabi, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, adding that no final agreements have been reached yet. Rubio confirmed the US-mediated negotiations between Ukraine and Russia will take place in Abu Dhabi, with security guarantees being a recurring issue throughout discussions on ending the war. He emphasized that the talks cover not only Ukraine's future security but also the broader European security framework. The secretary stated that initial proposals are currently being reviewed, and he hopes the meeting, involving US representatives Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, will yield progress. Rubio noted that ending the war must come first before implementing any security arrangements.
