Trilateral talks between the US, Russia, and Ukraine will resume in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday and Thursday, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The negotiations aim to find a resolution to the ongoing war, following a previous round in late January that yielded little progress, particularly regarding territorial disputes. Russia continues to demand Ukraine cede a portion of the Donetsk region. The talks are occurring amid US pressure for a deal and a fragile ceasefire on energy targets, brokered by US President Donald Trump, who claims a deal is close. The US and Russian envoys also held separate talks in Florida.
