Ukraine changing strategy? Possible security guarantees for Russia

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed readiness for security guarantee talks with Russia after ending the war, marking a potential shift in Ukraine's negotiation stance. Delegations from Ukraine, Russia, and the U.S. are set to meet in Abu Dhabi in early November for technical discussions on ceasefire and security guarantees. Zelensky emphasized the necessity of European involvement in post-war security arrangements and stated that territorial issues should be addressed at the highest leadership levels. Concerns in Kyiv are rising regarding U.S.-Russia rapprochement, which could influence future peace agreements. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov warned of possible war escalation despite the ongoing negotiations.
