President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky received a report from the Ukrainian negotiating team on the results of the first day of trilateral meetings of Ukraine, the United States and Russia in Abu Dhabi. The head of state called the talks constructive and quite substantive, and also said that he set tasks for further diplomatic dialogue.

The president wrote about this on the social network X on Tuesday, November 10.

According to Zelensky, the first day of negotiations allowed the parties to hold a substantive discussion of issues related to ending the war. At the same time, the head of state did not report on reaching any concrete agreements.

“The trilateral format was constructive and quite substantive,” — the president noted.

Zelensky also said that he gave the Ukrainian delegation clear instructions regarding further work. They concern not only the continuation of trilateral negotiations on November 11, but also additional contacts with representatives of the United States and European states in the coming days.

Thus, diplomatic consultations will continue in several formats at once. The main trilateral dialogue between Ukraine, the United States and Russia is to resume on Wednesday morning, November 11.

Earlier, during a visit to Denmark, Zelensky said that the talks in Abu Dhabi discussed humanitarian issues, including possible prisoner-of-war exchanges and the return of Ukrainian children. In addition, future security guarantees for Ukraine were one of the central topics.

The first day of trilateral negotiations lasted about four hours. According to sources in Ukrainian media, participants discussed security guarantees for Ukraine and Europe, the demands of the Russian side, as well as issues of post-war reconstruction and the formation of a new system of European security.

Kyiv insists that an end to the war should precede the transition to the formation of a new security architecture on the European continent. At the same time, details of Russian proposals and the reaction of other participants to them were not officially disclosed.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio also positively assessed the first day of the meeting. He called the talks very productive, but stressed that the parties still have a significant amount of work to do. According to Rubio, Washington is interested in further expanding the negotiation process with the participation of European representatives.

Recall that on November 10, trilateral negotiations between Ukraine, the United States and Russia resumed in the capital of the United Arab Emirates after a long break. The Ukrainian delegation is headed by the head of the Foreign Intelligence Service, Rustem Umerov. It also includes the head of the President's Office, Kyrylo Budanov, David Arakhamia, Serhiy Kyslytsya and Vadym Skibitsky.

The American side is represented by U.S. President's special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Before the start of negotiations with Russia, Ukrainian representatives held separate consultations with partners from European states, NATO and the European Commission.

At the end of the first day, the parties did not announce the agreement on the terms of a ceasefire or the signing of any agreements. The next round of negotiations is scheduled for November 11.
