The Kyiv Independent reports that U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met President Volodymyr Zelensky at a military base near Dublin on November 12, 2026, a day after U.S.-brokered peace talks in Abu Dhabi closed with no major breakthrough and a Kremlin meeting with Vladimir Putin. Kushner called the talks "very detailed and productive" and said Putin agreed to let Europe join the negotiations, while Zelensky forecast Europe's direct role in the next round and the largest prisoner exchange yet, alongside other news including a U.K. sanctions package targeting Russia's oil producers.
