US and Russia Discuss NATO-Style Security Guarantees for Ukraine in Abu Dhabi Talks

US officials discussed with Russia offering Ukraine post-war security guarantees modeled on NATO Articles 4 and 5, ahead of trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi on November 10. The discussions will focus on security arrangements and territorial issues. A US official said Washington has proposed guarantees similar to NATO's consultation and collective defense principles, though not NATO membership. The final decision rests with President Donald Trump, and territorial disputes remain unresolved, with both sides showing private flexibility. The US does not expect all issues to be resolved in Abu Dhabi but sees Russian willingness to negotiate. European involvement is considered necessary, with possible sanctions relief and the NATO-Russia Council format discussed. Ukraine's delegation will prioritize prisoner exchanges.
