US envoys head to Moscow and Dublin as Abu Dhabi talks conclude
US envoys travel to Moscow and Dublin to meet Putin and Zelensky following the conclusion of trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi.
Trilateral negotiations between American, Ukrainian, and Russian delegates have concluded in Abu Dhabi after two days of talks. Following the meetings, US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are travelling to Moscow to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin, before heading to Dublin for discussions with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
During the summit, Russian officials presented demands echoing pre-2022 proposals for NATO to withdraw forces to its 1997 positions. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov also rejected European calls for an immediate ceasefire. Meanwhile, European and NATO representatives held parallel coordination strategy sessions, with Italian sources emphasizing that Europe must participate in shaping the formal negotiating format.
Separately, Ukrainian and Belarusian hackers claimed to have breached Russia's statistics agency, leaking data suggesting Russian military casualties have surpassed 410,000.
