Story summary

U.S.-brokered talks between Russia, Ukraine, and European nations began on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, in Abu Dhabi. The U.S., along with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's chief of staff Lieutenant General Kyrylo Budanov, initiated these discussions aimed at ending the nearly five-year-old conflict. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot confirmed that European officials would participate despite initial objections from the Kremlin. The talks focus on security guarantees for Ukraine and post-war agreements but are expected to yield limited progress given past negotiations' lack of significant breakthroughs.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha will start his day in Paris in talks with Rubio before heading to the French foreign ministry for a larger group meeting with the entire G7.
He named Rubio, saying that “I think Marco’s great" but noting there was a “tremendous bench” in his Republican Party and that “maybe I’m better off not getting involved.”
PARIS (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will meet his counterparts from the Group of 7 industrialized democracies on Monday, with unresolved world crises on the agenda and questions about how President Donald Trump will approach foreign policy after his Republican Party’s massive losses in the midterm elections.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio will make his first international trip since the midterm elections that dealt Republicans a severe blow and raised questions about how the Trump administration will respond after policies like the Iran war helped Democrats seize control of Congress.
Now, as Trump ponders his next move, the stakes couldn’t be higher for Iran, the Middle East and the global economy writ large.
Top diplomats from the Group of 20 largest world economies will wrap up two days of talks in Atlanta on Saturday without reaching consensus on several critical global security issues after divisions, notably over Russia’s war with Ukraine, overshadowed the start of the meeting.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will chair the gathering Friday and Saturday that will set the stage for a G20 leaders summit hosted by President Donald Trump at his Miami golf club in December.
The embassies will remain open.
“He can wake up tomorrow morning, decide he’s done enough on this, and he might start to lean back in the other direction.”
Rubio has been unapologetic about his role as both President Donald Trump’s chief diplomat and national security adviser and has brushed aside suggestions that he is eschewing the most difficult issues in favor of taking on lower-hanging diplomatic fruit with less risk of failure and political damage. “It’s an important relationship,” Rubio told reporters Saturday before departing Washington, noting that he selected a time when the Central Asian leaders would be able to meet.
