ABC: Russia-Ukraine talks: What's changed since the last round?
U.S. envoys are widening the agenda to NATO and European security as Russia and Ukraine resume talks after a nine-month pause.
- On Tuesday, Russia and Ukraine began U.S.-mediated talks in Abu Dhabi, the first in nine months, with President Donald Trump's administration broadening discussions to include NATO and European security.
- President Vladimir Putin's demands remain unchanged since his 2022 ultimatum: Ukraine must surrender the Donbas, accept military limits, and NATO must withdraw to 1997 borders, effectively reversing Eastern European NATO expansion.
- Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are exploring an "enduring framework for long-term European security" to bypass territorial roadblocks, though analysts warn this risks substituting one difficult negotiation for an even lengthier one.
- Sam Charap, a senior political analyst at the RAND Corporation, warned that "actually coming to agreement on these issues is going to take a long, long time," given the nine-month negotiation gap.
- Despite diplomatic efforts, Russia continues targeting Ukrainian civilian infrastructure; a November 7 missile strike destroyed a Kyiv kindergarten as Putin rejects ceasefire calls and seeks to press Ukraine toward capitulation.
