Before the talks, Zelenskyy described them as the first tripartite meeting since Russia's invasion, and said at the time that a draft peace agreement was "almost, almost" ready.
Neither he nor any other party is providing any information about this at this time. Zelenskyy wrote on social media that he “appreciates the US awareness of the need for American monitoring of the peace process.”
According to the Ukrainian president, all delegations should report to their respective governments before further steps are taken. The Ukrainian military has “identified a list of issues that can be raised at the next meeting,” he wrote - but a new meeting can only take place “if all parties are ready to move forward.”
“I look forward to our delegation’s report,” Zelenskyy added.
Russian state-run Tass reports, citing sources, that the talks "ended without results" but that consultations will continue in the coming days.
Axios reporter Barak Ravid wrote on X that the talks were “constructive” and conducted in a “positive” spirit. Citing sources, he also wrote that new talks could take place in Abu Dhabi “next week,” which is also what sources told AFP.
US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner participated in the talks on Friday, but on Saturday handed responsibility to others in the delegation and instead traveled to Israel for talks on Gaza, reports the Jerusalem Post.
