The meeting lasted less than two hours.

The second day of trilateral talks between Ukraine, the U.S., and Russia on ending the war in Abu Dhabi has already concluded. According to a Telegram channel Ukraine Context close to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Kirill Budanov, the talks lasted less than two hours. The channel warns that one should not count on “breakthroughs” or quick results.

The day before, the same channel reported that the second round would be significantly more difficult than the first: the parties were set to move on to detailed discussions of territorial issues.

The head of the Ukrainian delegation, Rustem Umerov , director of the Foreign Intelligence Service , had previously announced the start of the second day. “We are beginning the second day of negotiations,” he wrote on Telegram. According to him, a trilateral meeting with the U.S. and Russia was initially planned, after which the Ukrainian delegation was to hold separate talks with European partners.

According to Bloomberg, European officials are in Abu Dhabi but will join the talks only if significant progress is made.

It was previously reported that on November 11, the parties were set to discuss de-escalation measures, energy, shipping in the Black Sea, and prisoner exchanges. In addition, if the opportunity arises, the prospect of a trilateral meeting at the head-of-state level could be discussed.
