On November 10, the first day of negotiations involving delegations from Ukraine, Russia, and the USA begins in Abu Dhabi. The parties intend to discuss the architecture of European security and ways to end the military conflict in Ukraine.

Meeting format and party positions

According to Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, European representatives will not participate in the trilateral format. However, Ukraine's Minister of Defense Rustem Umerov clarified that contacts with European delegations in Abu Dhabi are planned separately from the main meeting.

U.S. President Donald Trump previously spoke about a possible change in Ukraine's format after the war ends. He also mentioned expecting a "big, beautiful deal" that could affect all of Europe.

Consequences of strikes in Russian regions

In several Russian regions, including the Leningrad region, restrictions on fuel sales at gas stations have been introduced. This occurred amid renewed attacks on oil refineries.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported a strike on the Morozov plant in the Vsevolozhsky district of the Leningrad region. According to Governor Alexander Drozdenco, a woman was killed as a result of drone debris falling on the roof of an apartment building in Vsevolozhsk.
