13 outletsRussia's government confirmed that delegations from Russia, Ukraine and the United States will meet in Abu Dhabi on November 10–11 for a three-way round of talks aimed at ending the war in Ukraine. The announcement came from Vladimir Medinsky, a Putin aide and veteran Russian negotiator, and matches what the US side — special envoy Steve Witkoff — had already put out, so both belligerents plus the mediator are now publicly committed to the same dates. Reporting describes these as or technical talks rather than a leaders' summit: the aim is to keep a US-mediated process moving, and Volodymyr Zelensky has said he hopes the round can open a path to a direct meeting with Vladimir Putin. The choice of the UAE as venue continues Abu Dhabi's role as a neutral Gulf host for this track.
The claim rests on an on-the-record Kremlin confirmation (Medinsky) plus a parallel US announcement (Witkoff), and it is carried near-identically by Reuters, AP-syndicated outlets, Anadolu, The Hindu and others — reporting sits essentially on top of the primary statements, with the dates November 10–11 consistent across sources. What is confirmed is the scheduling, not any outcome; characterizations of the format as 'working-level' or 'technical' come from officials and should be read as their framing.
Genuinely current: the confirmation and the resulting wave of coverage are dated November 2–3, 2026, with the talks themselves set for the following week.
We noted in late October 2026 that Russia was signalling willingness to resume peace talks in November — this confirmation is the concrete follow-through on that signal, now with dates and a venue.
