President Volodymyr Zelensky held a 90-minute call on November 4, 2026 with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to prepare for trilateral talks with Russia in Abu Dhabi the following week. Ukraine presented its peace proposals and called for ironclad post-war security guarantees. Zelensky also pressed for Patriot interceptors, saying Ukraine faces a critical shortage amid intensifying Russian ballistic missile strikes, and said he had received just 24 from partners. Air defense munitions, the US-Ukraine Drone Deal and security guarantees were the main topics.
