Zelensky: Prisoner release is top priority after first Abu Dhabi talks

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the first day of trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi involving Ukrainian, American, and Russian delegations was constructive and substantive, with the release of prisoners identified as the top priority. Zelensky reported on November 10 that discussions covered humanitarian steps, security guarantees for Ukraine, and mechanisms to prevent any repeat of war. He assigned tasks to the Ukrainian team for subsequent meetings and thanked the US for organizing the talks and the UAE for hosting.
