Russia-Ukraine talks planned for Abu Dhabi this week may change venue, Zelenskyy says

The venue for U.S.-brokered Ukraine-Russia peace talks may move from Abu Dhabi to Turkey or Switzerland due to Middle East conflicts, with no immediate impact on Western arms deliveries.

  • On Monday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said U.S.-brokered talks expected later this week may move to Switzerland or Turkey if Abu Dhabi cannot host.
  • Previous negotiations in Abu Dhabi, Istanbul and Geneva indicate possible alternative venues, but Zelenskyy warned escalating hostilities involving Iran and militias could upend plans.
  • Zelenskyy noted that Patriot-system shipments remain unchanged for now, and Western countries have given no indication that air-defense missile deliveries to Kyiv will be disrupted, but he warned volumes could fall if attacks continue.
  • Zelenskyy added he has not received direct requests from the United Kingdom or others about sending experts, despite UK plans to bring Ukrainian drone specialists to help Gulf countries.
  • Despite ongoing talks, U.S. efforts to end the war that began with Russia's February 2022 invasion are continuing, but the Middle East conflict may divert attention and complicate negotiations, Zelenskyy said.
