Russia-Ukraine war: Second round of peace talks set to begin in Abu Dhabi

AI Summary

medium article 2 min

A second round of US-brokered peace talks between Ukrainian and Russian negotiators is scheduled to take place in Abu Dhabi, UAE, beginning February 4, 2026. The talks aim to find a path to end the nearly four-year Russia-Ukraine war. These trilateral discussions follow a previous round held in the UAE and represent the first direct public negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv based on a plan proposed by the Trump administration. However, progress remains challenging as the fourth anniversary of Russia's invasion approaches. The primary obstacles continue to be the long-term status of Russian-occupied territory in eastern Ukraine and security guarantees for Ukraine. Recent Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure have further complicated the negotiations.
