U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff said on social media that talks between the United States, Russia and Ukraine will be held on November 10 and 11 in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. He said the talks will focus on post-war security arrangements, de-escalation, humanitarian efforts and next steps toward peace. The Financial Times reports the meeting would be the first talks since February, when the last round was held in Geneva. Witkoff also said American negotiators will meet in Brussels this week with representatives from Britain, France, Germany, the European Union and NATO to discuss security guarantees for Ukraine.
