Tuesday, November 10. Russia, Ukraine, and the United States met in Abu Dhabi to discuss ending the war for the first time since February. The talks covered security guarantees (including for Russia) and the postwar future “amid a crisis of trust,” as well as a prisoner exchange. The talks lasted more than four hours.

Wednesday, November 11. The second day of trilateral talks focused entirely on the postwar security architecture in Europe. Unofficially, officials in Kyiv said Russia had refused to discuss a ceasefire, territories, and energy altogether. The only agreement announced publicly was the “largest prisoner exchange of the war.” Negotiators afterward spoke of “good momentum” but acknowledged that the process is difficult. The talks ended in less than two hours.

Thursday, November 12. Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff flew to meet with Vladimir Putin to discuss bringing Europe into the negotiation process and ask Moscow to formulate its vision of the postwar order. Putin, in turn, proposed a joint humanitarian operation in Kostiantynivka. That evening, Kushner and Witkoff met with Volodymyr Zelensky in Dublin. The outcome: all sides agreed to hold another round of talks soon, and Moscow signaled it has no objection to the participation of Europe, which now needs to decide on its own representative.
