Zelenskyy rejects Putin's Moscow invitation, signals possible delay in peace talks
Zelenskyy publicly challenges Putin to Kyiv talks amid stalled US-mediated negotiations, with unresolved territorial disputes over Donetsk hindering progress, officials said.
- On Thursday, Russia reiterated an invitation for Volodymyr Zelenskyy to travel to Moscow, but Zelenskyy refused and invited Vladimir Putin to Kyiv, saying 'if he dares'.
- Control of Donetsk and the role of peacekeepers lie at the core, as Russia demands Ukrainian forces withdraw from roughly 20% of the Donetsk region, which Kyiv rejects.
- The UAE hosted trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi, with Russia represented by Kirill Dmitriev, according to Putin, who said, 'We are grateful to you personally for the efforts toward holding trilateral talks.'
- The UAE faces growing security risks from the US‑Iran stand-off, which could affect its role as host and raise safety concerns for meetings, Zelenskyy warned on Friday.
- Reports suggest a quid pro quo linking territory and security guarantees, with Ukraine possibly withdrawing from Donbass in exchange for US security guarantees and European troops, while civilians face a minus 20 degrees Celsius cold snap.
