WASHINGTON — U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff said Monday that Ukrainian and Russian delegations will meet in Abu Dhabi November 10–11 for American-mediated talks.

The agenda includes ending the war, postwar security arrangements, de-escalation and humanitarian measures.

U.S. officials also plan discussions with European allies about security guarantees and reconstruction support, Reuters reported.

The announcement establishes another diplomatic meeting, not a ceasefire or peace agreement. Ukraine and Russia remain far apart on settlement terms, and the talks’ outcome is uncertain.
