Representatives of Ukraine, the United States, and Russia held two rounds of talks in Abu Dhabi on November 10 and 11, 2026. The first round lasted about four hours and was opened by U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. The Ukrainian delegation was headed by Rustem Umerov, while the Russian delegation was headed by Vladimir Medinsky; Sergei Ryabkov was also included in the Russian team. Participants discussed ending the war, a ceasefire and ways to stop hostilities, security guarantees, humanitarian steps, and the structure of a postwar European security system. Zelensky said the talks were constructive and meaningful, and said a potential prisoner exchange was under discussion in a format of 1,000 for 1,000 or 1,500 for 1,500. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio described the first day as very productive but said substantial work remained. Russian and American officials expressed cautious optimism about continued talks, while a source in the Russian delegation said it was too early to draw conclusions. Russia’s demands included the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from the entire Donetsk region and control over additional territory in Donetsk and Luhansk; Ukraine rejected those demands and rejected a U.S. proposal concerning a change to the line of contact. Ukraine also requested at least ten years of financial support for an 800,000-person army and post-war infrastructure reconstruction. The United States sought to include European representatives, and European countries were working to appoint a representative or group of representatives by the end of November.
