アブダビでウクライナ・米国・ロシアの三者会談、10日から開催

なぜ重要か

This was the first comparable three-way meeting since February 2026 and focused on a framework for ending the war. It tested whether the United States could mediate between Ukraine and Russia, whether security guarantees could be made credible, and whether a broader European format could replace the current limited negotiations. Ukraine’s refusal to trade territory for vague security promises, Russia’s insistence on defining security parameters before a ceasefire, and Europe’s exclusion from the main room exposed the central obstacles to a comprehensive settlement.

何が起きたか

On 10 November, Ukraine, the United States and Russia began trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi over the war in Ukraine, with the United States acting as a working-level mediator. Before the meeting, Ukraine held separate consultations with representatives of the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, NATO and the European Commission, joined by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.

Ukraine’s delegation was led by Rustem Umerov and included Kyrylo Budanov, Serhii Kyslytsia, Vadym Skybytskyi and David Arakhamia. Russia was represented by a delegation led by Vladimir Medinsky, with Sergei Ryabkov joining for the first time. The United States was represented by Witkoff and Kushner. European participants were present in Abu Dhabi but did not join the main negotiating room because Russia opposed their direct participation.

The first day focused on security guarantees for Ukraine and Europe, Russia’s security demands, Ukraine’s postwar reconstruction and a new European security architecture. The participants discussed possible humanitarian steps, prisoner releases and de-escalation. According to a source close to the Ukrainian delegation, the sides agreed to conduct a large-scale prisoner exchange soon. The first round ended on 10 November, with talks expected to resume on the morning of 11 November. Ukrainian sources did not expect a breakthrough in the first meeting but hoped for progress in the second round.

ウクライナメディアの見方

Ukrainian coverage emphasizes stopping the war on the current lines, preserving Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, securing reliable postwar guarantees and rejecting an exchange of Donbas territory for security promises. Practical humanitarian measures, particularly prisoner exchanges, are highlighted as achievable near-term results, while skepticism remains about the likelihood of a breakthrough. Ukraine’s military position, reconstruction needs and coordination with European partners are also central to its negotiating approach.

海外メディアの見方

International coverage focuses on U.S. mediation, the first trilateral round since February 2026, possible changes to sanctions and the future architecture of European security. It highlights a divide between Russia, which opposed direct European participation, and the United States and European governments, which sought broader European involvement in the next round. Assessments generally regard prisoner exchanges and limited local ceasefires as more plausible immediate outcomes than a comprehensive settlement.

報道の食い違い

Russia rejected an immediate ceasefire before negotiations and argued that clear security parameters should be established first. Ukraine and several European participants insisted that fighting stop before negotiations on the future European security architecture begin.

Washington also considered proposals to alter Ukrainian administrative boundaries and restore Russia’s access to European energy markets; Ukraine and its European partners rejected both ideas. The boundary proposal was only one option under consideration and did not constitute an agreement.

European governments were divided over whether and how Europe should participate directly in future negotiations and had not selected a single representative to speak for Europe in talks with Russia.

背景

The United States served as a working-level mediator, represented by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. European and NATO representatives held separate coordination meetings with Ukraine and the United States because Russia opposed their direct involvement in the main negotiating room. Proposed security mechanisms included consultations, crisis communication channels, mutual de-escalation measures and possible restoration of the NATO–Russia Council, whose work has been practically suspended since 2022. The participants also confirmed that a strong NATO would remain the central element of Euro-Atlantic collective defence.
