Trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi yield no breakthrough amid Russian strikes on Ukrainian grid

Two-day trilateral negotiations involving Ukraine, Russia, and the United States in Abu Dhabi ended without a territorial compromise. Discussions centered on ceasefire terms, security guarantees, and disputed regions, marking a rare diplomatic exchange. Russian chief negotiator Vladimir Medinsky rejected Western expectations, declaring that "every inch of Russian land will be recovered, one way or another," while criticizing European diplomatic coverage.

During the sessions, Moscow proposed bilateral non-aggression treaties with select NATO member states to reshape European security dynamics. Simultaneously, Russian forces launched over 160 aerial weapons overnight at Ukrainian energy infrastructure, severing power for hundreds of thousands of residents across the Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions as Ukraine prepares for winter.
