Trump says he sees "strong inclination" to end war between Russia and Ukraine

Tuesday, 10 November 2026 —

US President Donald Trump has said ahead of peace talks in Abu Dhabi that Washington is seeing growing willingness to bring Russia's war in Ukraine to an end.

As reported by CNBC, speaking to reporters at the White House on 9 November, Trump noted that both sides are tired of the war, more than four and a half years after Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022.

"We're also seeing a very strong inclination to end Russia and Ukraine. We're involved in that because I want to see people stop getting killed again," Trump said.

On 9 November, Rustem Umierov, Head of the Foreign Intelligence Service and leader of Ukraine's negotiating team, said that the Ukrainian negotiating delegation had set off for Abu Dhabi for the scheduled meetings.

It is also known that US special envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff will hold a meeting with European representatives prior to the start of the Ukraine-US-Russia talks in Abu Dhabi.

Davyd Arakhamiia, leader of the Servant of the People parliamentary faction, does not believe there will be a "breakthrough" during this round of trilateral talks between Ukraine, the US and Russia.
