The UN Security Council met in New York on Monday, 9 November 2026, to discuss Ukraine after Russian strikes on energy infrastructure. UN News reported that the meeting came on the eve of US-backed talks in Abu Dhabi. The strikes threaten millions of people with another cold, dark winter, and civilian deaths are climbing sharply, according to the report. Negotiators from Ukraine, Russia and the United States are due to meet in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday for a new round of trilateral talks aimed at ending nearly five years of full-scale war. Security guarantees for the warring sides are expected to top the agenda, and US officials insist that a broader security architecture for Europe must be part of any peace deal.
