US-vermittelte Gespräche: Ukraine-Verhandlungen in Abu Dhabi haben begonnen
Russen und Ukrainer sind in Abu Dhabi angekommen für neue Verhandlungen unter US-Vermittlung zur Beendigung des Krieges. Vorab gibt es aber ein anderes wichtiges Treffen.
Abu Dhabi - Discussions aimed at ending Russia's military aggression against Ukraine commenced in Abu Dhabi, according to Ukrainian sources. The initial talks involved representatives from the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, NATO, and the European Commission, as reported by the Ukrainian Foreign Intelligence Service chief Rustem Umjerow.
The meeting also saw participation from US special envoy Steve Wittkoff and Jared Kushner, son-in-law of former US President Donald Trump. Umjerow stated that they will align their positions and coordinate the next steps before the subsequent negotiation session.
This marks the first trilateral format since February, involving representatives of Ukraine and Russia under US mediation. Umjerow outlined their primary priorities, which include halting the fighting, securing reliable post-war safety guarantees, restoring and developing the Ukrainian economy, and humanitarian measures. The goal is to make progress on these points and bring about peace.
Ukraine has been defending itself against the Russian invasion for over four and a half years with the help of the West. Previous negotiations mediated by the US have not yielded a breakthrough. However, multiple times in the past, the warring parties managed to reach agreements on humanitarian actions, such as the exchange of prisoners of war and fallen soldiers.
