US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff announced that the US will mediate working-level Ukraine-Russia negotiations in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11, aiming to end the war. The talks will cover post-war security arrangements, de-escalation, humanitarian efforts, and next steps toward peace. Additionally, American negotiators will meet this week in Brussels with France, Germany, the UK, the EU, and NATO to discuss security guarantees for Ukraine and reconstruction support. Russia has signaled readiness to return to trilateral talks following Putin's meeting with Witkoff in St. Petersburg, while Witkoff met with Zelensky in Oslo. The announcement follows recent diplomatic activity in Kyiv, Oslo, and St. Petersburg.
