The Hightower Report 在一份报告中指出，部分疲软也可能归因于乌克兰、俄罗斯和美国定于下周在阿布扎比举行三方和平会谈，这进一步提振了黑海冲突可能走向结束的乐观情绪。据克里姆林宫和基辅双方发布的消息，谈判定于 11 月 10 日至 11 日举行。
Part of the weakness may also be attributed to scheduled trilateral peace talks between Ukraine, Russia and the US in Abu Dhabi next week, which has further raised optimism the Black Sea conflict may be headed for a conclusion, The Hightower Report said in a note.
