Russia Warns Ukraine and European Allies Are Preparing for Prolonged Conflict

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, Sergei Shoigu, Secretary of the Security Council of Russia, addressed the approach of Kyiv and its European partners, stating that Ukraine and its supporters appear to be preparing for a prolonged conflict rather than pursuing peace.

The senior Russian security official also emphasized that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) continuously engages in provocative actions along the peripheral borders of Russia.

Addressing domestic technological developments, Shoigu discussed the Rassvet satellite system, explaining that the vertical integration in the domestic production and manufacturing of all its components ensures its stability and security against external pressures.

These positions from the Russian official were articulated on the eve of a new round of trilateral consultations between Moscow, Washington, and Kyiv. The meeting is scheduled to take place on November 10 and 11, 2026, in Abu Dhabi, focusing on ending the conflict, post-war security arrangements, and de-escalation.
