Breaking News: The United States will broker negotiations between Ukraine and Russia in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11, focusing on a potential peace agreement.
The United States will mediate new talks between Ukraine and Russia next week, with the aim of establishing “lasting security”, according to US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff. These working-level negotiations are scheduled for November 10 and 11 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (Fox News). Prior to this, American negotiators will meet with representatives from France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the EU, and NATO in Brussels to discuss security guarantees for Ukraine and its future European security architecture (Fox News).
The initiative builds on previous diplomatic efforts held in Kyiv, Oslo and St. Petersburg, continuing the administration’s attempt to resolve the conflict triggered by Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine (Fox News). Discussions will encompass post-war security arrangements, de-escalation measures, humanitarian aid, and pathways towards a comprehensive peace (Witkoff, via Fox News). Witkoff stated the goal is a “comprehensive, durable peace agreement” that ensures lasting security (Fox News). President Trump previously indicated that progress towards resolution was significant, suggesting both sides were receptive to ending the conflict (Fox News).
This mediation occurs as President Trump has stated the US is “maybe now the closest we’ve been” to a resolution, reflecting a belief that both Ukraine and Russia are seeking an end to the protracted and costly war (Fox News). The move represents a high-stakes attempt to address the ongoing European security crisis.
The next phase will involve the talks in Abu Dhabi, followed by further discussions dependent on the outcome of these initial negotiations (Fox News).
