Trilateral peace talks begin in Abu Dhabi as Russian strikes continue
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported constructive initial talks in Abu Dhabi, even as Russian drone strikes targeted rescue operations in Zaporizhzhia.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described initial trilateral talks between Kyiv, Moscow, and Washington in Abu Dhabi as "constructive" and "substantial," with negotiations set to continue.
Despite diplomatic movement in the United Arab Emirates, military operations on the ground show no signs of abating. Zelensky denounced a recent Russian drone attack in the Zaporizhzhia region that reportedly targeted emergency crews operating at a rescue site following an earlier strike that killed 55 people.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Congress is preparing additional military assistance to bolster Ukraine's air defense capabilities, while analysts question whether Moscow's involvement in the talks represents a genuine move toward peace or a strategic tactic.
