According to press reports, Ukraine and Russia's positions came closer during the new negotiations on Tuesday.

Negotiations between Ukraine and Russia began in Abu Dhabi, mediated by the U.S., with both sides seemingly willing to compromise on previous demands. This development could signify a breakthrough, as past talks have ended without agreement. The Russian stance has focused on retaining control over Crimea and several regions, while Ukraine seeks security guarantees and humanitarian measures. U.S. representatives emphasized the need for European involvement in discussions, aiming to establish a security framework that respects Ukraine's sovereignty. Despite ongoing attacks by Russia, President Zelensky announced plans for a trilateral meeting to end the conflict.
