Putin agreed to resume peace talks with Ukraine and the USA. The Kremlin indicated a possible date.

Despite announcements of renewed dialogue between Moscow and Kyiv, significant differences remain regarding the conditions for ending the war. Putin has agreed to resume peace negotiations with Ukraine, potentially involving the United States, with talks expected to start next month in Abu Dhabi. The discussions will focus on security guarantees for both Ukraine and Russia post-conflict. However, Russia's demands, including full control over the Donetsk region and Ukraine's NATO membership withdrawal, remain firm. Tensions between the U.S. and Ukraine have escalated following a recent agreement between Trump and Russia regarding diesel exports, raising concerns in Kyiv about diminishing U.S. support. Meanwhile, negotiations in Oslo have yielded some progress, but Russia's response has been lukewarm, indicating ongoing challenges in reaching a consensus.
