Envoys from Russia and Ukraine met in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday for US-brokered talks aimed at ending the nearly four-year war. The Ukrainian delegation confirmed the presence of US officials, including special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, at the negotiations. The two-day meeting began with all three delegations present, followed by smaller group discussions before reconvening as a full group. The talks coincide with the expiration of the last remaining nuclear arms pact between Russia and the United States on Thursday. Prior to the meeting, Russian strikes on Zaporizhzhia and Odesa resulted in casualties and infrastructure damage.
