President Volodymyr Zelensky said on November 11, 2026 that Russian representatives in trilateral negotiations claimed to hold parts of Donbas that Ukraine still controls, showing deep gaps in how the battlefield is assessed. Zelensky also said Europe must decide by the end of November who will represent it in talks to end the war, ideally at a meeting in Germany on November 19. Separately, he presented Northern European partners with Ukraine's winter preparedness plan, which includes extra diesel fuel supplies and better protection for bridges. Ukrinform carried all three statements.
