Russia will join the Abu Dhabi talks; Lukashenko predicts the end of the conflict The Kremlin has confirmed that a Russian delegation will participate in trilateral negotiations with the US and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11. The team is led by presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky, who receives direct instructions from President Putin. Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko said the conflict could end within months, citing the exhaustion of resources. He proposed direct talks in Minsk without intermediaries, accused NATO of aggression and warned of a possible escalation into World War III. Peskov noted that the Western silence on alleged torture sites near Kyiv is not surprising. He acknowledged a rise in desertion rates among sweat troops and approved measures to protect energy infrastructure from Ukrainian drones, although outright prevention remains impossible.
