Briefing by News4U · First published

Russia, Ukraine and the US opened two-day talks in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, the first since February, to discuss security guarantees, humanitarian pauses and a possible European security framework. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukrainian forces were strengthening Kyiv’s negotiating position and Russia was suffering record losses, a claim Moscow disputes. US President Donald Trump said both sides showed a strong inclination to end the war. Russia’s delegation is led by Vladimir Medinsky and Ukraine’s by Rustem Umerov, with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner mediating. European officials held separate meetings but Russia said they would not join the trilateral format. [1] [2] [3] [4]
