US to facilitate Ukraine-Russia discussions in Abu Dhabi
American officials will serve as mediators for a new round of talks between Ukraine and Russia, scheduled for November 10 and 11 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, according to U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff. The aim of these discussions is to establish long-term security arrangements.
Witkoff announced the upcoming negotiations on X, stating that they will focus on post-war security, de-escalation measures, humanitarian aid, and future steps toward peace, all in support of President Donald Trump’s objective to conclude the war.
Prior to the talks in Abu Dhabi, U.S. negotiators will convene in Brussels this week. They will meet with representatives from France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and NATO to address security assurances for Ukraine, Europe’s future security structure, and economic support for Ukraine’s rebuilding efforts.
These efforts follow previous diplomatic engagements in Kyiv, Oslo, and St. Petersburg. The Trump administration has been actively working to broker a resolution to the conflict that began with Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
President Trump recently indicated that the possibility of resolving the war is “maybe now the closest we’ve been,” suggesting a desire for an end to the conflict after years of fighting and significant losses.
