# Russia, Ukraine to meet for US-backed talks after Trump says broad deal possible Russia and Ukraine are preparing for two days of US-brokered peace negotiations in Abu Dhabi on November 10–11, 2026, marking their first direct meeting since February. The talks come after US President Donald Trump suggested that a broader agreement to end the war could be possible, potentially including a new European security framework and guarantees for Ukraine. US representatives are expected to participate alongside Russian and Ukrainian officials, while European representatives will hold separate discussions. However, major disagreements remain over territorial control, particularly Russia’s demand that Ukraine surrender the entire Donbas region. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has rejected territorial concessions without credible security guarantees, arguing that any settlement must protect Ukraine against future Russian aggression. Meanwhile, fighting continues, with Russian attacks targeting Ukrainian infrastructure and Ukrainian strikes hitting Russian energy facilities. The negotiations could become a major diplomatic turning point, with implications for European security, global defence spending, energy markets and international relations. #RussiaUkrainePeaceNegotiationsNovember2026 #AbuDhabiUSBrokeredDiplomaticPeaceTalks #VolodymyrZelenskyySecurityGuaranteesForUkraine #EuropeanSecurityAndNATOStrategicFuture #RussiaUkraineWarGlobalGeopoliticalImpact $LMT · $RTX · $GDX
