High stakes but low expectations ahead of Ukraine talks with Russia and US
AI Summary
Negotiators from Russia, Ukraine, and the US are meeting in Abu Dhabi for their first trilateral talks since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Senior officials from all three nations are participating, though it's unclear if they will meet in the same room. The talks, initiated partly due to Donald Trump's push for a peace deal, aim to address the ongoing conflict, but expectations are limited. Ukraine seeks to maintain US support and hopes for increased air defense against Russian attacks. A major obstacle remains Russia's demand for Ukraine to cede the Donbas region, which Ukraine refuses, making a resolution difficult. Zelensky described the meetings as "a step" towards peace.
