U.S., Russia and Ukraine begin talks in Abu Dhabi aimed at ending war in Ukraine
U.S.-brokered talks resume after a nine-month pause, with security guarantees, prisoner exchanges and territorial disputes still unresolved, officials said.
- Delegations from Russia, Ukraine, and the United States convened in Abu Dhabi for their first formal trilateral peace negotiations in nine months, focusing primarily on postwar European security architecture and de-escalation mechanisms.
- U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio indicated that diplomatic positioning between Washington and Moscow has shown incremental progress, noting that preliminary discussions have helped narrow gaps regarding long-term continental stability.
- Despite the resumption of high-level contact, Western and regional analysts cautioned that an immediate cease-fire remains unlikely, as fundamental disagreements persist over territorial demands and enforcement guarantees.
- The closed-door diplomatic track runs parallel to ongoing friction regarding European representation, with Moscow pushing for bilateral security arrangements with Washington while European Union capitals demand direct participation to safeguard regional defense.
- Negotiators are expected to utilize the two-day summit to address targeted humanitarian issues, potential prisoner exchanges, and procedural frameworks for future diplomatic engagement.
