US to Mediate First Ukraine and Russia Peace Talks Since February on Nov 10

The US and European allies held talks at NATO headquarters in Brussels on Nov 5 to finalize security guarantees for Ukraine as part of a push for a durable peace agreement. The discussions aimed to create a practical security architecture that identifies exactly who will intervene and by what means if Russia resumes hostilities, establishing a baseline for direct negotiations.

These meetings prepare for a summit in Abu Dhabi on Nov 10 and 11, which will be the first time the US hosts trilateral peace talks including both Russia and Ukraine since February. The session follows a Nov 4 Brussels summit focused on Ukraine’s economic recovery, while Ukrainian negotiating chief Rustem Umerov said the current focus must shift from political declarations to a system of guarantees that works in practice.

+0.1%
Talks Stay Procedural
The most likely outcome is that the Nov 10 meeting reopens a diplomatic channel but does not resolve the core territorial and security-zone disputes. Washington can claim renewed engagement, while Moscow and Kyiv avoid politically costly concessions.
Finance +0.2%
+0.6%
Limited Ceasefire Framework
A partial diplomatic opening is plausible because Zelensky has signaled support for freezing the war along current lines, while the US has floated demilitarized zones. The main constraint is that Putin has described a security zone as non-negotiable, making any framework fragile and incomplete.

Talks Break Down
The talks could fail quickly if Russia refuses to soften its security-zone demand and Ukraine rejects concessions that appear to legitimize occupation. A breakdown would reinforce the view that the war remains locked in a military rather than diplomatic phase.

Meeting Is Delayed
The meeting could slip if the parties cannot agree on agenda language, delegation level or the status of demilitarized-zone proposals. A delay would be less consequential than a formal breakdown if Washington keeps both sides engaged.
