US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff announced that Ukraine and Russia will hold peace negotiations in Abu Dhabi next week, specifically on November 10 and 11, with the United States acting as mediator. Both Kyiv and Moscow confirmed the talks, which will focus on post-war security arrangements, de-escalation, humanitarian issues, and steps toward peace. Witkoff stated that US negotiators will also meet with representatives from France, Germany, the UK, the EU, and NATO in Brussels this week to discuss security guarantees and economic support for Ukraine’s reconstruction. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov acknowledged the upcoming tripartite talks but emphasized that any security guarantees must be mutual and noted that Moscow would eventually need to negotiate directly with Europe regarding European security architecture. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed hope that these discussions will pave the way for a direct meeting between himself and Russian President Vladimir Putin, while also calling for increased pressure on Moscow to end the war.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has acknowledged for the first time that Russia, as a nuclear power, seeks security guarantees, marking a significant shift in diplomatic posture according to the Financial Times. This development coincides with new US-led diplomatic initiatives aimed at ending the war, including planned trilateral talks between Kyiv, Washington, and Moscow in Abu Dhabi in mid-November. While US President Donald Trump has increased pressure on Ukraine and eased sanctions against Russia, Zelensky insists that issues directly related to the ongoing conflict must be resolved before discussing Russian security expectations. He emphasized that European partners must be involved in any such discussions, although they are currently excluded from the immediate round of negotiations. The statement comes amid continued Russian military attacks, including a recent airstrike on a humanitarian facility in the Zaporizhzhia region that resulted in multiple casualties.
