Source: Meduza

Trilateral negotiations between Russia, Ukraine, and the United States have begun in Abu Dhabi, marking the first meeting between representatives of the three countries since February.

The talks are scheduled to take place over two days, November 10–11, with territorial issues and security guarantees on the agenda.

Ahead of the talks, Ukraine’s delegation met with representatives of the U.K., France, Germany, Italy, NATO, and the European Commission. Ukrainian delegation head Rustem Umerov said U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner would also join the meeting to coordinate positions before the trilateral negotiations.

Russia’s delegation is led by Vladimir Medinsky and includes Deputy Foreign Ministers Sergei Ryabkov and Mikhail Galuzin, Deputy Chief of the General Staff Igor Kostyukov, and Deputy Head of the General Staff’s Main Operational Directorate Yuri Zhigarlovsky.

“We hope that today’s meeting, with such a high-level group — our delegation has grown and become even more professional — will allow us to make progress toward peace,” Medinsky said, thanking the U.S. for its “peacemaking efforts.”

Ukraine’s delegation also includes presidential chief of staff Kyrylo Budanov, his deputy Serhii Kyslytsia, ruling-party parliamentary leader Davyd Arakhamia, and deputy military intelligence chief Vadym Skibitsky.

According to the Russian state news agency TASS, NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Europe, Alexus Grynkewich, is also at the negotiating table alongside the U.S., Russian, and Ukrainian delegations.
