Zelenskyy chief of staff on Russia peace talks: "These negotiations are not the last"

Ukraine and Russia are set to hold peace talks in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11, 2026, with the U.S. mediating. This follows President Volodymyr Zelensky's announcement and subsequent meetings between him and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in Berlin ahead of the talks. The discussions aim to address security guarantees, an "energy ceasefire," and a truce in the Black Sea to ensure food exports. While European governments want to be involved, U.S. envoys will discuss security guarantees with representatives from Germany, France, the UK, NATO, and the EU in Brussels earlier this week. Zelensky expressed hope that these talks could pave the way for a meeting involving him, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and possibly other leaders.
