Trilateral Abu Dhabi talks conclude as U.S. mediators prepare to brief Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky on diplomatic progress.
Trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi between the United States, Russia, and Ukraine have concluded after two days of negotiations aimed at establishing a new security framework. Following the sessions, U.S. mediators Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are scheduled to travel to Moscow to brief Russian President Vladimir Putin before meeting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Dublin during an informal European summit.

In defense developments, Italy reiterated that its military support to Kyiv will remain restricted to defensive material and power generation, excluding Samp/T air-defense missiles.
