medium article 3 min

Russian, Ukrainian, and American officials are holding rare three-way peace talks in the United Arab Emirates. These discussions, entering their second day on Saturday, aim to address a revised 20-point peace plan covering security, reconstruction, and prisoner exchanges. The plan originated last fall and has been updated with input from multiple countries. Ukrainian President Zelensky stated he expects "at least some answers" from Russia regarding the plan, but acknowledged it's too early to assess Russia's sincerity in negotiating, especially as attacks continue. Despite ongoing negotiations, Ukraine and Russia remain divided on key issues of security and territory.
