US, Russia and Ukraine to hold first trilateral talks this weekend in UAE, Zelenskyy says

  • On January 23, Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced a two-day, negotiator-level trilateral meeting in Abu Dhabi, calling it the first such talks in the Emirates.
  • After meeting with Donald Trump in Davos, Zelenskyy said US security guarantees were finalised but the territorial issue in eastern Ukraine, including Donetsk/Donbas, remains unresolved while talks aim to address these and the prosperity/reconstruction package.
  • After talks in Moscow, US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner traveled to Abu Dhabi to continue negotiations, with Kyiv sending Rustem Umerov, Kyrylo Budanov, and Lt. Gen. Andriy Gnatov.
  • The Kremlin has so far not confirmed participation, but Yuri Ushakov, Kremlin foreign affairs adviser, said a trilateral working group will meet in Abu Dhabi and Ukraine's international bonds rallied more than 2 cents on Thursday.
  • Given the UAE's mediation history, the United Arab Emirates will host talks as Russian strikes leave 4,000 buildings without heat, underscoring urgent humanitarian stakes.
