Ukraina, EUA e Rússia iniciam em Abu Dhabi negociações tripartidas sobre a guerra

Porque é importante

A reunião constituiu a primeira negotiating session tripartida deste formato desde fevereiro de 2026 e迹象ou a retoma da diplomacia de alto nível. O acordo sobre uma troca规模化 de prisioneiros offering immediate humanitarian value, whilst the discussions on security guarantees and the post-war European security architecture addressed the conditions for ending the war and preventing renewed aggression. The dispute over European participation also determined whether the negotiations could develop into a broader multilateral format.

O que aconteceu

Before the trilateral meeting, Ukraine held separate consultations with representatives of the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, NATO, the European Commission, and the US special representatives Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. European representatives did not enter the main negotiating room because Russia rejected their direct participation.

The first day focused on possible humanitarian measures, with the release of prisoners of war identified as Ukraine’s priority, as well as on security guarantees for Ukraine, de-escalation and the future architecture of European security. Ukraine and Russia reportedly agreed to carry out a large-scale prisoner exchange, and the talks were scheduled to continue on 11 November.

Ukraine’s delegation was headed by Rustem Umerov and included Kirlo Budanov, Serhii Kyslytsia, Vadym Skibitskyi and Davyd Arakhamii. The US delegation was represented by Witkoff and Kushner, while Russia’s delegation was led by Vladimir Medynskyi.

Ukrainian coverage focused on ending hostilities, reliable postwar security guarantees, economic recovery and humanitarian steps, especially prisoner releases. Ukrainian officials described the first day as constructive and substantive while insisting that any settlement must respect Ukraine’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and right to decide its own security arrangements. They also stressed that fighting should stop before negotiations on a new European security architecture begin, rejected surrendering Donbas merely in exchange for security assurances, and questioned whether US commitments would be upheld.

International coverage emphasized the United States’ mediation role, the participation of European and NATO officials and the prospect of moving to a broader multilateral format. The reported prisoner exchange was treated as the clearest immediate outcome, while security guarantees, de-escalation and the European security architecture remained the central substantive issues. The coverage also presented competing US proposals on sanctions, guarantees, territorial arrangements and energy-market access, alongside Ukrainian and European opposition to several of them.

Ukraine and Europe sought an immediate halt to hostilities before negotiations on a new European security architecture began. Russia rejected an immediate ceasefire without clearly defined security parameters and favoured defining that architecture first.

Russia rejected direct participation by European representatives in the main talks, whereas the United States and Ukraine sought broader European involvement in the next round.

US proposals included territorial or administrative adjustments that would allow Russia to claim full control of Donetsk and Luhansk while Ukrainian-controlled cities remained under Ukrainian authority; Ukraine rejected this. The United States also explored restoring Russian access to European energy markets, which Ukraine and its European partners opposed during the war.

Ukrainian participants doubted that the US president would uphold possible American security guarantees, while US negotiators believed Russia might accept guarantees modeled on NATO Article 4 or Article 5.

Contexto

The talks revived the Ukraine–US–Russia format after a long pause, with the previous comparable meeting held in February 2026. The United States organised the session, the United Arab Emirates provided the venue, and the US described its role as working-level mediation.

The US administration reportedly explored sanctions relief, possible American security guarantees, administrative-border changes in Donetsk and Luhansk, and restoration of Russian access to European energy markets. None of these proposals resulted in an agreement. Russia continued to demand a neutral status for Ukraine, a smaller Ukrainian army and the absence of an international or multinational contingent, while offering no sign of accepting such a deployment.
