Trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi yield no territorial consensus as Russian strikes hit Ukrainian grid

Trilateral negotiations between Ukraine, Russia, and the United States concluded in Abu Dhabi without a breakthrough on territorial disputes or a ceasefire. Russian negotiator Vladimir Medinsky reaffirmed Moscow's stance on land claims, stating that "every inch of Russian land will be recovered, one way or another." Russian representatives also floated a proposal to sign bilateral non-aggression pacts with selected NATO member states as part of a revised European security framework.

While diplomatic discussions took place in the United Arab Emirates, military operations continued across Ukraine. Overnight Russian missile and drone strikes targeting energy infrastructure caused extensive blackouts in the Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions, disrupting power supplies for hundreds of thousands of residents as winter approaches.
