Story summary

European officials will join U.S.-mediated peace talks between Russia and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi, despite the Kremlin's objections. The talks, which began on November 7, are aimed at ending a nearly five-year-old war with security guarantees being a top priority. On day one, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed satisfaction with messages from U.S. envoys regarding diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict. However, both sides remain far apart on key issues such as territorial disputes over regions illegally annexed by Russia and Ukraine's need for security guarantees against future Russian aggression.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
