U.S., Russia and Ukraine begin talks in Abu Dhabi aimed at ending war in Ukraine
According to CBS News, the United States, Ukraine, and Russia began talks in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday aimed at ending the war that started in 2022. The two-day session, the first since February, focuses on security guarantees. Jared Kushner, son-in-law of President Trump, stated that he and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff are working toward a negotiated solution for lasting peace. While Putin has demanded Ukrainian troop withdrawals from annexed regions and military restrictions, President Zelenskyy has rejected these terms, insisting on an immediate ceasefire and direct negotiations. These talks follow a period of stalled diplomacy after the conflict between the Trump administration and Iran.
