US, Russia and Ukraine resume trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi
Envoys from Moscow, Kyiv, and Washington have convened in the United Arab Emirates for fresh discussions on ending the war in Ukraine.
A new round of trilateral peace negotiations between Russia, Ukraine, and the United States has commenced in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday. The talks represent the first formal multi-party diplomatic engagement between the sides since initial mediation efforts broke down earlier this year.
The United States is represented by special envoy Steve Witkoff alongside Jared Kushner. Russia's delegation is headed by presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky, while Ukraine's team is led by foreign intelligence chief Rustem Umerov and senior parliamentary leader Davyd Arakhamia.
The agenda covers post-war security guarantees, humanitarian measures, energy infrastructure protections, and prisoner swaps. European diplomatic advisers from France and Germany are also attending parallel sessions, though Ukrainian officials cautioned that swift breakthroughs remain unlikely.
