Ukraine's presidential office chief Kyrylo Budanov will lead the Ukrainian delegation at face-to-face talks with Russia in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11, the first such meeting in months. Budanov told CBS News he expects no major breakthrough, but considers the agreement to meet in person a sign of progress. He stressed the meeting will not be final, with sides discussing readiness to end the war. US envoy Steve Witkoff said Americans will mediate the working-level talks, focusing on post-war security, de-escalation, and humanitarian issues. Russia confirmed participation, with Vladimir Medinsky again leading its delegation.
