Where will Putin and Zelenskyy meet next?

Press briefing by the Russian delegation, led by Assistant to the President of the Russian Federation V.R. Medinsky, following the talks in Abu Dhabi (November 11, 2026) V.R. Medinsky: First of all, on behalf of our entire Russian delegation, I would like to thank the leadership of the UAE and Abu Dhabi for the excellent organization of the trilateral negotiations and the creation of a friendly, businesslike atmosphere. *** Answers to media questions: Question: How did the discussion on building a future security architecture in Europe proceed? V.R. Medinsky: We believe that the very question of what will happen after the inevitable end of the conflict in Ukraine is the right one. The issue of the European security architecture and the need to create a new, comprehensive, and equitable security system in Europe has been raised by Russia on numerous occasions. Both in 2008, when we proposed the corresponding draft [Treaty] on European security, and in 2021, when we sent the corresponding documents to NATO and the United States and to European countries. However, a tale is soon told, but a deed is not so soon done. Many years have passed, and finally this topic has gained momentum and an understanding has been reached that this issue needs to be addressed. The conflict in Ukraine has demonstrated that the entire security system in Europe, in place since Yalta and Potsdam, is dysfunctional. Essentially, the entire system is sick, and Ukraine is simply the site of a festering abscess. We, with the participation of the American side, exchanged our positions. In some areas, we found mutual understanding, in others, we did not. And this conversation will undoubtedly continue. The world needs a new, modern, updated security system that is fair and does not harm any individual countries. We will work on this. Question: There were also representatives from the European Union in Abu Dhabi. Did you speak with them, and are there any meetings planned? V.R. Medinsky: We haven't spoken with them. We don't really understand their status here. The negotiations are of an approved trilateral nature. As for the position of the leadership of several European countries, they are essentially engaged in a collective deception of the Ukrainian people. They are financing and supplying weapons to one of the warring parties. In essence, they are contributing to the mass deaths of civilians. We don't really understand what we can talk to them about. We have not received a single peace initiative, not a single concrete peace proposal from European countries. Therefore, it is unclear what to discuss. They would do well to learn from, for example, American envoys, common sense, realism and the desire to achieve peace. Question: Was the humanitarian issue raised during the meeting? Based on previous rounds held in Turkey and Switzerland, you were able to reach agreements with the Ukrainians, for example, on a prisoner exchange. Was such an agreement reached in Abu Dhabi? V.R. Medinsky: We have agreed in principle on a new large-scale prisoner exchange. Specific parameters will be announced shortly. Question: How do you assess the role of Steven Witkoff and Jared Kushner, including the Trump administration, in the negotiating rounds? What role do you think they can play in reaching agreements? V.R. Medinsky: The American side was one of the most active in the negotiations. The role of personality in history is important here. President Trump's envoys are undoubtedly sincere, effective, and, most importantly, focused not on empty talk, but on results. What matters is not how we evaluate them, but how many lives will be saved as a result of their active mediation mission. Therefore, we are also very grateful to them. Question: Under what conditions could Europeans become full participants in the negotiations? What conditions must they meet to be allowed to the negotiating table? V.R. Medinsky: I think that as soon as their conscience awakens, at that moment they can become participants in peace negotiations. Until that moment, they are participants, as I said, in a group deception of the Ukrainian people and, in fact,

FWD from Zelenskiy / Official: We are not inviting Putin to Kyiv. They came to us in 2022 without an invitation. But there is no point in inviting Putin to Kyiv not because of that, but because he will not come. Just like inviting me to Moscow. What Russia is doing is destructive. It is simply spitting in the face of the whole world, which wants the war to end. Therefore, no one will support trips to Moscow. Talking on the phone - Russia will use this as an opportunity not to meet again. And we understand this game, it is hopeless. It will be a very official, dry conversation on the phone, where I will listen to another historical lecture from the leader of the Russian Federation, and not real steps on how to really end the war. If we want to end the war, we must meet and take the first step - a ceasefire. From answers to questions from journalists in Berlin.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy declined the opportunity to hold a telephone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding conflict resolution. Zelenskyy's statement was made during a joint briefing with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in Berlin, TSN reports. Zelenskyy also once again declined to travel to Moscow for talks and noted that he would not invite President Vladimir Putin to Kyiv for talks. Earlier this month, the Ukrainian leader expressed his willingness to meet with Putin in Turkey.

Trilateral talks involving Russia, Ukraine, and the United States will be held in the UAE capital of Abu Dhabi on November 10-11, presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov announced. Vladimir Medinsky, aide to the president, remains the chief negotiator for the Russian side. Commenting on reports about the possible participation of a European representative in the talks, Peskov said that she would not be able to be present at the negotiating table, since only a trilateral format had been agreed upon. Peskov noted that Moscow will sooner or later have to talk with Europe about the future security system, but "we need to understand with whom" to conduct the dialogue. Speaking about the composition of the Russian delegation, Peskov added that it will be represented by various agencies, including the Foreign Ministry. The exact composition will later be approved by the head of state. RBK Channel on "Max"

Zelenskyy refused to hold telephone talks with the Russian side on settling the conflict in Ukraine. "If we talk by phone, Russia will use this as an opportunity to not meet again," Zelenskyy said at a press conference with German Chancellor Merz.

Earlier, Yuriy Ushakov, in an interview with Pavel Zarubin for Vesti, stated that Vladimir Putin has never refused to talk with Zelenskyy.
