Trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi yield no consensus as Russian demands remain firm

Trilateral discussions between Ukraine, Russia, and the United States concluded in Abu Dhabi without reaching a peace agreement. Russian negotiator Vladimir Medinsky affirmed Moscow's unyielding position, stating that "every inch of Russian land will be recovered, one way or another," while questioning European media portrayals of the conflict.

The talks addressed potential ceasefire terms, territorial claims, and security guarantees. During the meeting, Russian envoys also introduced proposals for bilateral non-aggression pacts with select NATO member states.

Simultaneously, military operations continued across Ukraine. Overnight Russian air strikes targeted critical energy grid infrastructure, causing extensive power outages affecting hundreds of thousands of civilians in the Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions as winter approaches.
