Trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi yield little progress as Russian strikes continue

Trilateral negotiations involving Ukraine, Russia, and the United States in Abu Dhabi have concluded without a breakthrough on territorial disputes or a ceasefire. During the discussions, Moscow floated proposals for bilateral non-aggression pacts with selected NATO members as part of a revised European security framework. However, Russian Chief Negotiator Vladimir Medinsky reaffirmed Moscow's unyielding stance on territorial control, stating that "every inch of Russian land will be recovered, one way or another" and suggesting Western media "continue to live in a world of illusions."

Simultaneously, heavy fighting and aerial bombardments persisted across Ukraine. Russian strikes targeted critical energy infrastructure overnight, disrupting electricity supplies for hundreds of thousands of residents in the Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions as winter approaches.
