Russia, Ukraine, US to Continue Peace Talks as Kyiv Reels Under ‘Massive Enemy Attack’ — What We Know so Far

Drone and missile strikes killed one and injured four in Kyiv, disrupting essential services amid stalled peace talks over Russia's territorial demands, officials said.

  • On Friday, trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi involving U.S., Russian and Ukrainian representatives began and are expected to continue on Saturday, with Rustem Umerov and Igor Kostyukov leading respective delegations.
  • Moscow insists on territorial concessions, demanding parts of Donbas including Donetsk and Luhansk provinces, while Ukraine rejects withdrawing from fortified Donetsk positions, Kremlin aides said Friday.
  • Overnight, Kyiv suffered a massive drone and missile assault that killed one, injured four, sparked fires, disrupted water and heating on the left bank of the Dnipro River, while emergency services and air defenses operated citywide.
  • Late Friday, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said it is too early to draw conclusions and that Abu Dhabi's outcome will depend on how talks develop on Saturday.
  • Months of U.S.-led negotiations have set the stage as President Donald Trump, President of the United States, met President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine, at Davos, while Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner visited Moscow and Abu Dhabi.
