Delegations from Russia, Ukraine and the United States hold the second day of the latest round of trilateral negotiations in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday, November 11.

The Russian delegation is headed by presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky, with Deputy Foreign Ministers Mikhail Galuzin and Sergey Ryabkov, Head of the Operational Information and International Relations Service of the FSB Alexey Komkov, and others attending.

Ukraine’s team is led by Rustem Umerov, along with the US side including envoy Steve Witkoff and presidential advisor Jared Kushner.

According to one source from inside the Russian delegation, the trilateral was focused on 'shaping a new continental security system' and the 'creation of a comprehensive and indivisible security architecture for the entire continent', with Ukraine just 'one element' of the topics in a broader discussion. 

It marks the first major negotiations between the sides in nine months.
