Ushakov stated that the outcome of the upcoming peace talks in Abu Dhabi remains uncertain, but noted that "they're bringing something." Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has also agreed to meet with Kushner and Witkoff in Dublin on the same day.

Officials attending the talks expressed cautious optimism about the progress made. Russian delegation head Vladimir Medinsky claimed that the two sides have "moved closer to peace," while Ukrainian representative Davyd Arakhamia stated that there is "good momentum" to reach an agreement by the New Year.
