US mediators conclude Abu Dhabi talks as Russian and Ukrainian envoys weigh diplomatic terms
US mediators wrapped up peace talks in Abu Dhabi with Russian and Ukrainian representatives, setting the stage for further discussions in Moscow and Dublin.
American envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff completed two days of peace discussions with Russian and Ukrainian delegates in Abu Dhabi, aiming to construct a new framework for conflict resolution. The U.S. mediators plan to travel to Moscow to present the outcomes to Russian President Vladimir Putin before meeting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Dublin. Zelensky indicated that a window of opportunity exists for diplomatic progress before the year ends.
Meanwhile, security concerns persist following a joint breach of Russia's Rosstat agency by Ukrainian and Belarusian cyber groups, which reportedly uncovered documentation of 412,576 Russian military fatalities. In Western Europe, Italy announced its future military aid to Kyiv will focus solely on defense capabilities and power generators, withholding additional Samp/T air defense missiles as domestic procurement costs for its F-35 fighter jet fleet rise.
