US envoys brief Putin and Zelensky following Abu Dhabi peace talks

U.S. mediators Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff have concluded two days of trilateral negotiations in Abu Dhabi alongside Russian and Ukrainian delegations. The envoys aimed to establish a new security framework, evaluating past diplomatic attempts to resolve core disagreements over territorial status, security guarantees, and NATO's role. Kushner described the goal as creating a "new frame of reference" for future stability.

Following the talks, the American delegation travels to Moscow to brief Russian President Vladimir Putin, before meeting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Dublin during an informal European summit. Zelensky noted a "window of opportunity for progress by the end of the year."

Separately, Italian officials reiterated that Rome's military aid to Kyiv will remain strictly limited to defensive equipment and power generators, ruling out further missile shipments for the Samp/T air-defense system.
