Zelensky: Record Russian losses strengthen Ukraine's position before Abu Dhabi talks

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Ukraine's negotiating position has been strengthened by record daily and weekly Russian troop losses on the front line, ahead of trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi scheduled for November 10-11. Zelensky reported that Ukrainian forces are achieving record results in destroying Russian occupiers, citing successful defensive operations and long-range strikes. He emphasized that Washington should convince Moscow to end the war, while European partners will participate in separate meeting formats. The Ukrainian negotiating team is already in the UAE, with talks aimed at proposing de-escalation steps and organizing a trilateral leaders' format. Zelensky also briefed Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on diplomatic efforts, noting India's food security proposals were rejected by Russia.
