Story summary

As of November 2, 2026, the United States plans to mediate trilateral talks between Ukraine and Russia starting on November 10 in Abu Dhabi, aiming to end the ongoing war that began in February 2022. This initiative follows recent diplomatic efforts by President Donald Trump's administration, including discussions held in Kyiv, Oslo, and St. Petersburg. The meeting will focus on ending Moscow’s war against Ukraine, post-war security agreements, and de-escalation measures. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had earlier revealed that peace talks could take place as early as November 10, reflecting both nations' readiness to engage in direct negotiations for the first time since Trump lifted sanctions on Russia. However, significant differences remain between Ukraine and Russia regarding potential peace deal terms.
