Trilateral talks on Ukrainian post-war security framework begin in Abu Dhabi

Trilateral negotiations between Ukraine, Russia, and the United States concluded their initial four-and-a-half-hour session in Abu Dhabi, aiming to construct a post-conflict security architecture for Europe.

US mediator Jared Kushner advocated establishing a "new framework," with US Senator Marco Rubio noting progress on post-war security infrastructure. Ukrainian chief negotiator Rustem Umerov also held separate coordination meetings with the E4 group—France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom—alongside NATO and European Commission representatives.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov rejected European demands for an immediate truce. Meanwhile, the Multinational Force for Ukraine initiated preliminary military exercises, while leaked data attributed to Russia's statistical agency indicated over 412,000 Russian military fatalities.
