   US to mediate Russia-Ukraine peace talks in Abu Dhabi on Nov 10-11

   The United States will host a new round of trilateral peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11, marking the first such talks since February. US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff will lead the mediation, with participation expected from NATO allies and other partners. The negotiations aim to address security arrangements, de-escalation measures and pathways toward a lasting ceasefire.

   Why it matters

   These talks represent the Trump administration's renewed diplomatic effort to end the nearly five-year conflict, following significant concessions offered to Moscow. Previous negotiations have stalled over issues including territorial integrity, security guarantees and the status of occupied territories. The involvement of NATO allies suggests a broader security framework may be discussed.
