A second round of trilateral peace talks between Russia, Ukraine, and the United States, initially scheduled for Sunday in Abu Dhabi, has been postponed to Wednesday and Thursday. The delay follows a meeting in Florida between U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and Kremlin envoy Kirill Dmitriev, where they discussed the conflict. Details of the Witkoff-Dmitriev meeting remain undisclosed, though Witkoff described it as "productive." Ukrainian President Zelenskyy alluded to potential delays due to U.S.-Iran tensions and stated Ukraine is awaiting details from the U.S. regarding further meetings. The first round of talks took place in Abu Dhabi in late January and were described as "constructive." Significant obstacles remain in reaching a peace agreement to end the war, which Russia initiated.
