US, Russia, and Ukraine to gather in Abu Dhabi for peace talks

Russia, Ukraine, and the United States are scheduled to convene in Abu Dhabi on November 10–11 for a new round of negotiations. The American delegation aims to discuss terms for ending the war and establishing security guarantees for Ukraine with officials from Moscow and Kyiv. US Presidential Special Envoy Steve Witkoff announced the upcoming meeting.

The US delegation is expected to include Witkoff alongside Jared Kushner, son-in-law of Donald Trump. The participants also plan to address humanitarian concerns and measures aimed at de-escalating tensions.

Preparations for the summit will commence with preliminary consultations in Brussels, where US representatives will coordinate with France, Germany, the UK, the European Union, and NATO regarding future security commitments for Ukraine and post-war reconstruction plans.

A prior round of trilateral discussions took place in February 2026 but concluded without a peace agreement due to persistent disagreements over territorial boundaries and security arrangements.
