U.S. Special Representative Steve Whitcoff stated that security guarantees for Ukraine were discussed during the November 10 talks between the Ukrainian and European delegations in Abu Dhabi. Whitcoff, who participated in the meeting of representatives from Ukraine, Europe, as well as NATO and the European Commission, stated that any agreements between Moscow and Kyiv “must respect Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as provide security guarantees for the country.”

According to Whitcoff, as reported by (Reuters) and BBC, the meeting participants discussed ways to develop existing European institutions and security agreements following the end of the war in Ukraine, noting that addressing security issues in the postwar period and reducing the risk of new conflicts are of “paramount importance.”

This meeting preceded the start of trilateral talks between Russia, Ukraine, and the United States, which began in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday morning.
