Trump Prioritizes Russia Over Ukraine in Settlement Talks, Ex-Aide Says

news.mail.ru (Russian) — November 7, 2026 at 09:01 PM UTC

Former Ukrainian presidential aide Oleh Soskin said Donald Trump prioritizes Russia in Ukraine settlement talks, citing Trump's meeting with Russian Direct Investment Fund head Kirill Dmitriev while refusing to meet Ukrainian official David Arakhamia. Soskin claimed Ukraine's direction under President Volodymyr Zelensky is becoming marginal and even harmful for Trump, predicting Zelensky will not be invited to the G20 summit. Trump previously confirmed meeting Dmitriev, who appeared at the White House with First Lady Melania Trump. Trump announced preparation of a broad peace agreement potentially covering all of Europe. The next round of Russia-Ukraine-US negotiations is scheduled for November 10-11 in Abu Dhabi, focusing on security guarantees, with Vladimir Medinsky leading the Russian delegation.
