Abu Dhabi talks resume as Ukraine and allies address post-war security

Trilateral negotiations between Ukraine, Russia, and the United States concluded their first day in Abu Dhabi. US mediator Jared Kushner called on parties to "create a new framework" for peace, while US officials cited progress on post-war security infrastructure. However, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated Moscow will "not accept European demands for an immediate truce".

Parallel to the main talks, Ukrainian delegates met with NATO, European Union, and E4 representatives, while initial training exercises began for the new Multinational Force for Ukraine. In Italy, reports highlighted that Rome's ongoing support remains limited to defensive equipment and generators, excluding Samp/T air defence missiles. Concurrently, cyber groups reported a breach of Russia's state statistics agency claiming over 412,000 Russian troop fatalities.
