[US, Russia, and Ukraine to Resume Trilateral Talks in Abu Dhabi Next Week; Trump Says Major Agreement Expected, Ukraine Doesn't Expect Breakthrough] BlockBeats reports that on November 7th, the US, Russia, and Ukraine planned to resume working-level talks in Abu Dhabi, UAE, from November 10th to 11th. This will be the first face-to-face meeting between the three parties in nine months. US President Trump stated that the parties are "very close" to resolving the Russia-Ukraine conflict and that a "major agreement" covering Ukraine and even the whole of Europe is expected. However, Ukraine remains cautious about the outcome of the talks. The head of the Ukrainian presidential office, Budanov, stated that he does not expect a breakthrough in this round of talks, but considers the resumption of face-to-face negotiations itself as progress. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Sebiga emphasized that security guarantees, de-escalation of the Black Sea situation, an energy ceasefire, the repatriation of Ukrainian children, and the exchange of prisoners of war will be Ukraine's priorities, and reiterated that no party can make decisions on the Ukrainian issue without Ukraine's participation. Currently, Russia and Ukraine still have significant differences on core issues such as territory and security guarantees, and fighting continues. Meanwhile, Europe continues to provide military and economic aid to Ukraine. Whether these negotiations will achieve substantial progress remains highly uncertain. [Original Link]
