Russia, Ukraine and the US are holding peace talks in Abu Dhabi
Ukrainian, Russian and U.S. envoys met in the United Arab Emirates on Friday, the first known instance that officials from the Trump administration have sat down with both countries as part of Washington's push for progress to end the conflict in Ukraine.
As featured on
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the future of Ukraine's eastern Donbas region is a key focus as negotiators from Ukraine, Russia, and the United States meet in Abu Dhabi. Friday's talks are the latest aiming to end Russia's nearly four-year full-scale invasion. It's the first known time officials from Trump's administration simultaneously meet with Ukrainian and Russian negotiators. The Kremlin insists Kyiv must withdraw its troops from areas in the east that Russia illegally annexed. Zelenskyy reiterated his openness to a free trade zone under Ukraine's control in the east.
