Russia, Ukraine and the US open two-day talks in Abu Dhabi on security guarantees, humanitarian pauses and next steps toward peace, with Europe attending separate meetings. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said recent battlefield gains strengthen Kyiv’s hand and urged Washington to press Moscow to end the war. Russian President Vladimir Putin demands Ukraine cede four annexed regions, abandon NATO ambitions and accept military limits; Zelenskyy rejects territorial concessions and insists on an immediate ceasefire. US President Donald Trump said both sides show a “very strong inclination” to end the war, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio cautioned the process “has a ways to go.” [1] [2] [3]
