Talks In Abu Dhabi: All The Details From Day Two

Kyiv rejected a new U.S. proposal to redraw the borders.

In Abu Dhabi (the capital of the UAE), on Wednesday, November 11, the the second day of talks between Ukraine, the U.S., and Russia on resolving the war, reports RBC-Ukraine.

What is known so far:

Kyiv has rejected a new U.S. proposal to redraw borders, which could have paved the way for a peaceful settlement with Russia, according to The Telegraph.

According to the publication, representatives of Donald Trump proposed a territorial compromise. It would allow Russia to claim full control over the front line in Donbas without Kyiv having to hand over cities currently held by the Ukrainian Defense Forces.

However, the Ukrainian side rejected this idea.

The second day of negotiations on Ukraine in Abu Dhabi will be devoted to the territorial issue, Politico reports

According to the publication, the U.S. wants to link a peace agreement on Ukraine to a revision of Europe’s security architecture—a long-standing demand of Russia.

Politico notes that U.S. envoys Kushner and Whitcoff are convinced of the need to involve Europe in the negotiations between Ukraine and Russia.

Ukraine’s allies are ready to discuss a broader overhaul of the European security system to encourage Moscow to take reciprocal steps and make progress in the peace talks.

At the same time, European countries insist on the correct sequence: first, a peace agreement on Ukraine, and only then—agreements on the regional security architecture.

“First, a trilateral format with the U.S. and Russia. After that, we will hold a separate meeting with our European partners,” said the head of the Ukrainian delegation Rustem Umerov.

Ukraine is seeking funding to maintain its 800,000-strong army for at least 10 years after the war ends, AFP reports, citing a high-ranking Ukrainian source.

This is necessary to defend against possible future aggression by Russia.

Also, following a meeting involving Ukraine, the U.S., European countries, and NATO, the parties reaffirmed their shared commitment to shaping the post-war architecture of European security.

According to sources at RBC-Ukraine, on the second day of talks, the parties will also discuss a possible ceasefire, energy issues, and security in the Black Sea.

Western media have reported that following the meetings in Abu Dhabi, Steve Whitcoff and Jared Kushner may travel to Moscow and then to Kyiv.
