On November 10, 2026, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced discussions regarding a potential exchange of 1,000 to 1,500 prisoners of war (POWs) during US-mediated trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi. Zelensky emphasized that the negotiations were crucial, with a focus on de-escalation steps related to energy and the Black Sea. The Russian delegation also brought up territorial issues, which Zelensky stated should be resolved at the leadership level. He noted that pressure on Russia remains insufficient and called for tougher measures against Moscow. The talks reportedly lasted 4.5 hours and included a break. The US envoy expressed encouragement regarding the constructive discussions. Additionally, Ukraine's Foreign Minister accused Putin of misleading partners about the situation in Donbas, claiming that Ukraine controls 20% of the territory there. The outcome of the negotiations is yet to be determined as discussions continue.
