Ukraine-Russia Talks Begin in Abu Dhabi Under US Mediation

“First we will hold a trilateral meeting with the US and Russia. After that, we will meet with our European partners,” Umyrov writes on X.

The talks are taking place under US mediation, with no European representatives at the negotiating table. According to the US, they are not only about achieving peace in Ukraine, but also about “creating the right security relations between Ukraine, Russia and Europe.”

Both the Ukrainian and American sides described Tuesday’s first round of meetings as “productive.”
