Officials from Russia, Ukraine and the United States continued talks in Abu Dhabi on November 11. Their positions on a possible settlement remained far apart, Reuters reported.

Ukraine’s chief negotiator described a three-country meeting followed by separate talks with European partners. The announced sequence did not mean a peace agreement had been reached.
