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.
