Trilateral peace talks resume in Abu Dhabi as US proposes broader framework

Representatives from Ukraine, Russia, and the United States have gathered in Abu Dhabi for peace negotiations aimed at ending the war and establishing a post-war security framework. The talks mark the first direct trilateral discussions involving all three nations since February.

Washington is advocating for an expanded multilateral negotiation format to address broader European security. Media reports indicate American proposals discussed potential border adjustments in Donbas to facilitate a ceasefire, a concept Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy firmly rejected, stating that trading Ukrainian territory for peace is abstract.

Meanwhile, Moscow has demanded security guarantees for itself while seeking to minimize the involvement of Western European diplomats present at the summit. Although negotiators do not expect an immediate breakthrough, the sessions aim to establish parameters for ongoing dialogue.
