  "summary": "Two days of U.S.-mediated talks in Abu Dhabi between Russia and Ukraine concluded on Wednesday. While negotiators from both sides reported some progress, including an agreement to conduct a \"large-scale\" exchange of prisoners of war, no major breakthrough regarding an end to the conflict was announced. US mediators noted that differences remain on several issues, including territory, and cited a lack of trust between the warring parties.\n\nAccording to TASS, Russia's chief negotiator Vladimir Medinsky stated there is no possibility of exchanging territory with Ukraine as part of a peace deal. Medinsky noted that Russia's buffer zone along its border with Ukraine is already substantial and would continue to expand, according to Interfax via Reuters. Medinsky also suggested that creating a fair security system for Europe could help ensure peace for decades or centuries.",
