On November 10-11, 2026, trilateral talks will take place in Abu Dhabi between Ukraine, the US, and Russia, where the ceasefire issue will not be on the agenda. Participants will focus on security guarantees and the architecture of European security to prevent the resumption of war after a possible ceasefire.
Negotiations After a Long Break
The resumption of the negotiation process, led by the US, has become possible after a nine-month hiatus. According to information published by The New York Times, one of the main obstacles to advancing the negotiations is Moscow's demands for the transfer of Ukrainian territories that the Russian army has failed to capture through military means.
Structure of the Talks
The talks are expected to address two main blocks of issues:
- Mechanisms for monitoring the ceasefire and security after the cessation of hostilities;
- Territorial issues related to the conflict.
The representative of the US for the ceasefire monitoring will be General Alexus Grinkevich, who has extensive experience in security matters.
