Ground update
- 10 Nov (day one): talks covered security guarantees and prisoners of war. Zelensky said a large-scale prisoner exchange was discussed (1,000 for 1,000 or 1,500 for 1,500, per Ukrainian media). No agreement is confirmed: one Ukrainian outlet's headline says a swap was agreed, which we could not verify; a Ukrainian MP said an exchange is "possible."
REPORTED - 11 Nov (day two, final day of this round): negotiators are due to take up territorial questions. Putin demands Ukraine leave four regions; Zelensky rejects ceding land and wants a ceasefire first.
REPORTED - 10 Nov: Russia, Ukraine and the US opened trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi, the first since February. US: Witkoff and Kushner. Ukraine: Umerov, Budanov, Arakhamia. Russia: Medinsky, Ushakov, Kostyukov, Ryabkov. Kushner: "some good ideas how to bridge" the gaps. No outcome reported; the session ran nearly four hours.
CONFIRMED - Positions: Putin demands Ukraine leave Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson, drop its NATO bid and accept military limits. Zelensky rejects ceding land and wants an immediate ceasefire first. Merz: no "overly high expectations." Russia objects to European participation in the trilateral format.

Reading the gap. Gaza and Lebanon both have ceasefires on paper (stage 4), but Gaza's EL of 66 says the killing has not stopped. Ukraine has the only dated talks (stage 2) among the full-scale wars. 4 wars have no channel at all.
