Russia revived its late-2021 security demands, including a NATO withdrawal to 1997 borders, during talks with US envoys, according to The New York Times and Politico. Politico reported that Witkoff and Kushner agreed to resolve all contentious issues at once rather than a step-by-step approach starting with a ceasefire, which analysts and Ukrainian officials said helps Moscow prolong talks. The White House said on Nov. 13 that the envoys have begun preparing what could become the largest prisoner exchange since the full-scale invasion, following a second round of trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi and separate meetings with Zelensky and Putin.
