Abu Dhabi. Zelensky speaks in a "constructive" and "substantial" format, negotiations continue on Wednesday

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described the trilateral negotiations in Abu Dhabi as constructive and substantial, focusing on humanitarian measures and security guarantees. The talks, involving Ukraine, Russia, and the U.S., aim to address the ongoing war and establish a new security framework for Europe. Despite the absence of European negotiators, representatives from several European nations were present in Abu Dhabi. The discussions will continue, with hopes for a long-term peace, although expectations remain low. Moscow demands the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from Donetsk, while Ukraine seeks security assurances and financial support for its military.
