Ukraine, Russia and the United States held the first round of trilateral peace talks in Abu Dhabi on 10 November, their first meeting in nine months, and negotiations were set to resume on 11 November. Delegates last met in February, and talks paused after the outbreak of the US-Israel war against Iran. Ukrainska Pravda reported that security guarantees, Russia's demands and Ukraine's post-war future were discussed, and a source told Reuters that Moscow wants postwar European security to be the central topic. Zelensky said the two sides discussed a large-scale prisoner exchange in a 1,000 for 1,000 or 1,500 for 1,500 format, and Kyiv Post and RBC-Ukraine reported the same exchange was on the agenda. Kyiv Post reported that Zelensky accused Russian military and intelligence officials of presenting false battlefield claims during the talks and called for greater US pressure on Moscow. The Economist reported that American negotiators floated redrawing the Donetsk and Luhansk borders so Russia could claim full control, while a US official said both sides had privately shown flexibility on a territorial exchange. Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen said he saw no signs Putin is ready for peace.
