Will Russia-Ukraine peace talks in Abu Dhabi actually make progress?
Peace talks between the U.S., Russia and Ukraine are underway in Abu Dhabi. The Atlantic Council senior fellow Michael Bociurkiw shares his thoughts.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio characterized the Russia-Ukraine talks held in Abu Dhabi as "very productive" on Tuesday, outlining Washington's aspiration to eventually incorporate European nations into the negotiations in a trilateral format. He contended that European partners should join the table for the long-term resolution of the conflict, according to AFP.
The initial day of US-led discussions between Russia and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi concluded on Tuesday, with additional talks scheduled for Wednesday. The talks, intended to resolve over four years of war, lasted several hours and marked the first negotiations of this nature since February, as reported by AFP. The talks involved Russian and Ukrainian delegations seated opposite each other, with US President Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and business associate Steve Witkoff serving as facilitators.
