The head of the Ukrainian delegation, Chief of the Foreign Intelligence Service Rustem Umerov, reported on the morning of 10 November that talks in a trilateral format — Ukraine, the US and Russia — had begun in the UAE. He published the corresponding message on Telegram.
The meeting followed consultations with representatives of Europe and NATO. On the agenda for the trilateral discussions are key issues related to ending hostilities and bringing peace closer.
“We are working in line with the tasks set by the President of Ukraine,” Umerov commented.
US negotiator Jared Kushner said ahead of the start of the meetings that the parties would focus on post-war security guarantees.
