US-Russia security talks.
Secretary of State Rubio stated that Ukraine will only receive security guarantees that Russia will receive. Washington is considering various post-conflict models, which may be formalized in an international treaty, but the details remain unagreed. This marks a shift from the Biden administrations refusal to discuss collective security.
Lavrov confirmed that talks began in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11 regarding regional collective security under US-brokered terms. Moscow has no illusions about the Trump administration, but supports the dialogue, noting that it is fundamentally different from previous US policy that ignored Russian demands.
EU response The French media BFMTV criticized the process as bypassing Europe. Analysts noted that Trump was offering concessions directly to Putin, excluding the influence of the European Union. Rubio dismissed Estonian Prime Minister Kallas' doubts about the negotiations, insisting that the continuation of the effort was essential despite the difficulties.
