US presses Russia on Europe
US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner flew to Dublin after talks with Russian president Vladimir Putin, while Russian presidential envoy Kirill Dmitriev told CNN that “Working on European security is definitely a great important step for Europe;”. Axios reported that the United States asked Russia to put forward a fresh proposal for a security agreement with Europe, including steps to reduce military tensions and address European concerns. The Open Magazine account said Kushner and Witkoff raised the proposal during talks involving Russian and Ukrainian officials in Abu Dhabi this week, and it said Washington wanted Moscow to spell out its security demands while proposing reciprocal measures.
Interfax reported that Russian presidential envoy Kirill Dmitriev received the two US representatives at Vnukovo Airport, and TASS said the convoy carrying Dmitriev, Witkoff and Kushner subsequently left the airport. The Open Magazine account also said the US envoys were expected to travel to Dublin after their Moscow meetings to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Abu Dhabi talks and Europe
The Brussels Times said representatives from the EU, France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Ukraine, the United States and NATO met in Abu Dhabi on Monday to coordinate ahead of upcoming trilateral talks with Russia on ending the war in Ukraine. The Brussels Times added that the group discussed efforts to establish conditions for a “durable peace”, including support for security guarantees for Ukraine as part of any settlement. The European Centre for Counter-Terrorism and Intelligence Studies file said the tripartite round hosted in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11, 2026 marked the first direct resumption of talks between the Russian and Ukrainian delegations since February 2026 under American sponsorship.
The ECCI file said the round resulted in a provisional agreement to carry out a broad prisoner exchange, while it described substantive disagreements remaining about territory and security guarantees. The ECCI file also said the negotiations addressed the dispute over European involvement in drafting the settlement, amid Moscow’s desire to broaden discussion to include the continent’s security architecture and Kyiv’s insistence on its sovereignty and refusal to cede its lands.
Who speaks for Europe
U.S. envoy Jared Kushner urged European countries to choose a single representative to speak on their behalf at the negotiating table with Russia, and the account quoted him saying, “If Europe can designate one person to speak on its behalf, that would be a bigger achievement than convincing the Russians to bring Europeans into the negotiations.” The same account said Moscow refused to include Europeans in the trilateral sessions, and it said European representatives conducted separate meetings with the Ukrainian and American sides to follow developments. Infobae reported that António Costa urged a “joint effort” among European countries, the European Union and NATO to have a “European voice” in negotiations for peace with Russia.
Infobae said Costa told leaders of the European Political Community in Dublin that “There can be no discussion about Europe's security without a European voice at the negotiating table.” The Open Magazine account said Russia has traditionally opposed European involvement in negotiations over the conflict, while it also said the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen maintained that discussions on a new security architecture involving Russia should take place only after the war in Ukraine ends.
