"Let them buy a ticket..." European allies are likely to be left out in negotiations about Ukraine.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov stated that discussions regarding a trilateral meeting in Abu Dhabi are still in the preparatory phase. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy mentioned a potential meeting date of November 10, but the Kremlin has ruled out European participation. Ryabkov emphasized that while preliminary agreements exist, no definitive plans have been confirmed. The situation remains uncertain, with expectations for significant breakthroughs being low due to deteriorating relations between Washington and Kyiv. Zelenskyy warned that Ukraine will not make excessive concessions for peace, and the outcome now largely depends on the U.S. side.
