Russia-Ukraine talks planned for Abu Dhabi this week may change venue, Zelenskyy says
Middle East hostilities threaten Abu Dhabi hosting, with Turkey or Switzerland considered as alternatives for U.S.-brokered Ukraine-Russia peace talks scheduled this week.
- 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.
