> Trilateral talks between Russia, Ukraine, and the United States in Abu Dhabi on November 10–11 ended with Russia and Ukraine agreeing in principle to a large-scale prisoner exchange. Russian envoy Vladimir Medinsky said the European security system was central to the discussions, with some areas of mutual understanding. Territory remains the main obstacle, and U.S. negotiators see no trust between the sides. Ukraine suggested a deal could be reached by the New Year.
