During the first round of trilateral talks between Ukraine, the United States, and Russia in Abu Dhabi, the main focus was on security guarantees for Ukraine and Europe. The parties also discussed Moscow's demands regarding its own security guarantees and the issue of post-war reconstruction of Ukraine. At the same time, there is currently no information about reaching concrete agreements.

Radio Svoboda reported on the first results of the meeting on November 10, citing a source close to the Ukrainian negotiating delegation. "Ukrainska Pravda" received similar information from a source close to the talks' participants.

According to sources, the central topic of the talks was the future security guarantee system that should ensure Ukraine's protection and stability in Europe after the war ends.

Separately, participants considered the Russian side's demands regarding security guarantees for the Russian Federation itself. The sources did not specify what proposals Moscow put forward or how the Ukrainian and American delegations reacted.

Another important issue was Ukraine's post-war future. The parties discussed prospects for the country's reconstruction and the formation of a new European security architecture amid the crisis of trust caused by Russian aggression.

Ukraine insists on a clear sequence for peaceful settlement: first, an end to the war, and only then negotiations on a new security system in Europe.

"The key position of the Ukrainian side is that the war must stop first," emphasized the source of "Ukrainska Pravda".

According to him, only after the cessation of hostilities is it possible to move towards the formation of long-term security agreements that would prevent renewed aggression and ensure stability on the European continent.

At the same time, the sources did not report whether the participants of the first round managed to bring their positions closer on key issues. There have been no official announcements about agreeing on ceasefire terms, future security guarantees, or other concrete decisions.

As a reminder, on November 10, trilateral talks between Ukraine, the USA, and Russia began in Abu Dhabi, focused on finding ways to end the war. Meetings are scheduled for November 10–11.

The start of the talks was confirmed by the head of the Ukrainian delegation, Rustem Umerov. He noted that Ukrainian representatives are working in accordance with the tasks set by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and among the main priorities are ending hostilities, reliable post-war security guarantees, economic recovery, and humanitarian issues.

The Ukrainian delegation includes Head of the Presidential Office Kyrylo Budanov, head of the "Servant of the People" parliamentary faction David Arakhamia, First Deputy Head of the Presidential Office Serhiy Kyslytsia, and Deputy Chief of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense Vadym Skibitsky.

Before the trilateral format began, Ukrainian representatives held consultations with delegations from the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, NATO, and the European Commission. American representatives Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner also joined the consultations.

As a result of these separate consultations, the USA, Ukraine, and European partners stated that future peace agreements should respect Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity and provide reliable security guarantees.

In a statement released by Steve Witkoff, the central role of NATO in Europe's collective defense system and the need for continued coordination with European partners in the peace settlement process were also emphasized.

However, these consultations were held separately from the main negotiating format involving Russia. The question of moving to broader multilateral talks involving European representatives remains a subject for further discussion.

Thus, the first round of talks allowed the parties to discuss key security issues, but no practical results indicating progress towards an agreement on ending the war have been reported yet.
