US hands Russia a strategic gift before Abu Dhabi talks, WP reports

The Washington Post reports that Russia is already celebrating a strategic victory before new talks in Abu Dhabi, because US President Donald Trump's special representatives Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff have agreed to discuss a new European security architecture while Russia's war in Ukraine continues. Western and Russian officials say Moscow has drawn the Trump administration into discussions that legitimize Kremlin claims about security threats, despite European insistence that Russia must end its war first. EU diplomat Kaja Kallas noted that a European security architecture already exists through NATO and the EU, which Russia continues to violate. Former US officials warn that Kushner and Witkoff lack experience in high-level security negotiations and are making concessions by proposing business deals before a ceasefire. Trilateral talks between Ukraine, the US, and Russia resume in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11.
