Ukraine, Russia, and US Hold First Trilateral Talks in Abu Dhabi on Donbas Dispute

Ukraine, Russia, and the United States held their first trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi aimed at resolving the nearly four-year conflict. The discussions focused primarily on territorial disputes, especially Russia's demand that Ukraine withdraw from the eastern Donbas region, which Ukraine rejects. The talks followed recent diplomatic engagements involving President Zelenskyy, President Putin, and US envoys. Despite ongoing Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities, the parties continued negotiations over two days to explore political solutions and security guarantees, though no immediate breakthrough was reported.
