Negotiations in Abu Dhabi: Ukraine talks continue: Is a summit meeting coming?

Talks between Ukraine and Russia, mediated by the US, are taking place in Abu Dhabi. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Selenskyj said a possible three-way meeting at presidential level may occur, focusing on de-escalation, a prisoner exchange, and ending the Russian attack on Ukraine. Selenskyj mentioned a potential exchange of 1,000 to 1,500 prisoners and discussed the territorial issue, which he said was a matter for heads of state.

The Ukrainian foreign minister, Andrij Sybiha, rejected changes to administrative borders, including in the Donbass region, where Ukraine controls 20 percent of the territory.
