A joint deal needs Kyiv and Moscow to trade core war aims in one short, US-mediated session.
- Moscow, Kyiv, and Washington must all endorse text by November 15; the US cannot impose territorial concessions on either side.
- Prior summit-style talks rarely produce agreements on borders or binding guarantees without months of prior bargaining and leader-level signoff.
- Odds rise sharply if delegates arrive with a pre-negotiated ceasefire package and both governments publicly signal mandate flexibility.

Whether all three sides announce a joint territorial or security deal from the Nov 10 session.
- Putin and Zelensky have held core territorial red lines for four years; one Abu Dhabi round cannot close that gap.
- US leverage can shape talks but cannot compel signatures by Nov 15; Minsk and 2022 Istanbul set the low base rate.
- A public Putin climb-down on Donbas or Crimea before the 10th would raise odds sharply; none is visible now.

Maximalist territorial demands and mutual distrust make a binding five-day breakthrough virtually impossible.
- Russia demands full control over annexed oblasts while Ukraine's constitution and public bar ceding occupied territory.
- Five days is too tight to draft workable security guarantees, which historically take months of diplomatic shuttling.
- A narrow confidence-building pact like a POW exchange is possible, but a full territorial or security deal remains out of reach.

Territorial and security agreements between active belligerents almost never materialize in a single session.
- Core issues—Crimea, Donbas status, NATO guarantees—are the same ones that collapsed Istanbul talks in April 2022 and every format since.
- Even optimistic precedents (Minsk I, 2014) took weeks of shuttle diplomacy and produced frameworks, not binding agreements announced at the table.
- A shift would require one side to publicly concede territory it currently claims, which no leader has signaled willingness to do by Nov 8.

A single round of talks almost never produces a formal joint deal on territory or security guarantees.
- Prior rounds of Russia-Ukraine-US talks have produced statements or partial frameworks, not binding joint agreements on territory/security.
- Territorial and security guarantee issues are the hardest sticking points, requiring Zelensky, Putin and likely Trump sign-off, unlikely within days.
- Base rate for a single negotiating session yielding a full official agreement on such core issues is very low historically.

A trilateral territorial or security deal in five days requires a breakthrough no prior round has produced.
- Russia demands recognition of annexed territory; Ukraine's constitution bars ceding land, so neither delegation can sign without a prior political decision in Moscow and…
- The US is a mediator, not a party, and has no authority to bind Ukraine on borders; past Abu Dhabi-style rounds produced prisoner swaps and grain deals, not territorial…
- Base rate for a binding territorial or security agreement within days of a first trilateral meeting is near zero; a pre-announced Putin-Zelensky summit would be the…
