Russia-Ukraine ceasefire negotiations stall
The US-mediated talks in Abu Dhabi aim to broker a potential truce in attacks on the two countries’ energy infrastructure and shipping in the Black Sea.
Negotiators for Russia and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi appear to have made little progress in their efforts to secure a durable ceasefire, as both sides continue to strike each other's energy infrastructure and shipping in the Black Sea, a vital route for grain exports.

Meanwhile, Europe's support for Ukraine remains divided, with debate over seizing custody of frozen Russian assets causing internal tension.
