On Tuesday, 10 November 2026, representatives from the United States, Ukraine, and Russia are meeting in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. This marks the first trilateral talks between the three countries since the Israeli-American strikes on Iran in late February.
The discussions are described as technical in nature, according to a report by the Bulgarian news outlet Dnevnik. Specific agenda items or expected outcomes have not been made public.
In diplomatic practice, technical talks usually involve lower-level officials focusing on specific, often procedural or practical matters, rather than high-level political negotiations between heads of state or foreign ministers. Such meetings have been used in the past by different countries to address narrow issues like prisoner exchanges, ceasefire monitoring, or humanitarian access.
The meeting is the first of its kind since the strikes against Iran began in late February, which involved both Israeli and American forces.
Abu Dhabi frequently hosts international diplomatic meetings due to its neutral standing and modern conference facilities. The city has become a common venue for multilateral discussions in recent years.
The trilateral format brings together three nations with a long history of multilateral engagement, though their relationships have varied over time.
No further details about the duration of the talks or the names of the participating representatives have been disclosed. The Dnevnik report did not specify the exact location within Abu Dhabi or the expected length of the negotiations.
This is a developing story, and more information may emerge following the conclusion of the talks.
