The UAE hosted a new round of Russia-Ukraine-U.S. talks in Abu Dhabi on November 10, according to its Ministry of Foreign Affairs. U.S. envoy Jared Kushner subsequently said European countries would join the next round, Reuters reported.
US envoy Jared Kushner said Russia and Ukraine had agreed to broaden the talks and Washington was working toward what could become the war’s largest prisoner exchange, Reuters reported November 13. This is an effort under way, not a completed exchange or peace settlement.
The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the Abu Dhabi round opened November 10 with representatives of Russia, Ukraine and the U.S. Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, deputy prime minister and foreign minister, attended the opening and expressed hope talks would produce practical steps toward ending the conflict and humanitarian suffering.
President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan received the U.S. delegation November 12, Emirates News Agency reported.
Significant obstacles remain: AP reported Vladimir Putin again rejected European troops in Ukraine after a ceasefire, saying Russia would consider them a threat. The position underlines the gulf between renewed diplomacy and a settlement.
Immediate measures of progress will be whether the proposed exchange takes place and broader talks produce movement on issues dividing the parties.
