Kyiv Post reports German Chancellor Friedrich Merz saying Germany will take part in Ukraine peace talks in the weeks after Nov. 13, 2026, after US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff mediated renewed negotiations. Merz says European leaders at a Dublin summit feared a "second Anchorage moment," and Zelensky calls the Abu Dhabi prisoner exchange, which could free over a thousand Ukrainians, a real result.
