Abu Dhabi talks end without breakthrough as Russia maintains firm stance

Trilateral negotiations between Ukraine, Russia, and the United States in Abu Dhabi ended without a breakthrough, as Moscow reiterated its unyielding territorial demands. Following the talks, Russian negotiator Vladimir Medinsky asserted that "every inch of Russian land will be recovered, one way or another," while dismissing European media coverage of the conflict.

During the discussions, which covered potential ceasefire frameworks and security guarantees, Moscow also floated proposals for bilateral non-aggression pacts with select NATO members.

Meanwhile, military action persisted across Ukraine. Russian air strikes targeted energy infrastructure overnight, disrupting electricity for hundreds of thousands of residents in the Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions ahead of the winter season.
