Trilateral Ukraine-Russia peace talks in Abu Dhabi address post-war security

US-mediated negotiations between Ukraine and Russia continued in Abu Dhabi, focusing on post-war security architecture for Eastern Europe. Mediator Jared Kushner called for a "new framework" to establish lasting peace, while US officials noted preliminary progress on post-conflict security arrangements. However, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov reportedly rejected European demands for an immediate ceasefire.

Simultaneously, Ukrainian delegates held coordination sessions in the United Arab Emirates with representatives from NATO, the European Union, and the E4 group—comprising France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom. Parallel to diplomatic efforts, preliminary exercises began for the newly established Multinational Force for Ukraine.

Separately, cyber groups Silent Crow and Cyber Partisans reportedly breached Russia's state statistics agency, revealing leaked records claiming over 412,000 Russian troop fatalities since the invasion began.
