Ukraine peace talks resume with ‘some flexibility’ by warring sides, US officials say

According to BBC reports, trilateral talks between Ukraine, Russia and the US aimed at ending the war have begun in Abu Dhabi. US officials stated that while expectations for an immediate breakthrough are low, Moscow and Kyiv have privately shown "a little bit of flexibility" regarding control of eastern regions in a postwar scenario. Jared Kushner, Donald Trump's son-in-law and part of the US delegation, wrote on X that talks would focus on postwar security concerns. However, positions on the Donetsk region remain far apart, with Moscow demanding the surrender of remaining Ukrainian-held areas and Kyiv wishing to freeze the contact line. US officials also indicated plans to propose transitioning into a multilateral format involving European nations.
