US to mediate trilateral talks with Ukraine, Russia in Abu Dhabi next week, US envoy says

The talks will focus on security guarantees, humanitarian measures and reconstruction as the United States tries to revive stalled peace efforts.

  • On Monday, U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff announced the United States will mediate trilateral peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia in Abu Dhabi on November 10–11, 2026, advancing President Donald Trump's mission to end the war.
  • Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to a new round of negotiations after meeting Witkoff in St. Petersburg about two weeks ago, following a period when talks stalled in February amid the U.S.-Israel war against Iran.
  • American negotiators are meeting representatives from France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and NATO in Brussels this week to prioritize security guarantees for Ukraine and post-war reconstruction.
  • Kyiv insists on robust security guarantees to prevent future invasions, while Moscow continues demanding territorial concessions in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, leaving major differences unresolved.
  • Jared Kushner is expected to join the American delegation alongside Witkoff as the administration seeks to advance President Trump's 'mission to end the war' before winter sets in.
