There is a noticeable escalation in the war ahead of the talks in Abu Dhabi. On the night of November 7, Russia launched one of the largest combined attacks of the fall: dozens of missiles and about 200 drones. The main target is Kyiv and the region. The north bridge was damaged.
On November 7, there was a massive UAV attack on Russia, the main burden fell on the south: more than 50 UAVs were shot down over the Rostov region alone. On the night of November 8, the Ministry of Defense reported on 142 drones that were shot down over ten areas, including the Moscow region and the Sea of Azov.
Now there is an escalation towards the negotiations. It's a way to come to the table from a position of strength. The front line is almost motionless. The decisive factors are the damage to energy and logistics and the population's ability to survive in the winter.
In the rear endurance competition, Russia has several advantages, but the situation itself will require a lot of effort from our country. There is little point in hoping for a negotiation; The dynamic is that the Ukrainian rear is exhausted, and people are leaving for remote villages.
