Russia rejects territorial compromises during Abu Dhabi peace talks

Trilateral peace negotiations involving Ukraine, Russia, and the United States concluded in Abu Dhabi without a consensus on key issues. Chief Russian negotiator Vladimir Medinsky affirmed Moscow's hardline position regarding territorial claims, stating that "every inch of Russian land will be recovered, one way or another." Beyond territorial sovereignty, Russian officials introduced proposals for bilateral non-aggression pacts with select NATO member states as part of a revised European security framework.

Simultaneously, military operations intensified across Ukraine. Russian forces executed an overnight barrage involving over 160 aerial strikes targeting critical energy infrastructure. The attacks severely damaged facilities in the Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions, cutting electricity to hundreds of thousands of residents as winter approaches.
