Ceasefire in Ukraine will not be the topic of talks in Abu Dhabi – New York Times

At the expected trilateral talks between Kyiv, Washington and Moscow in Abu Dhabi, there are no plans to discuss a ceasefire in Ukraine.

According to the publication, the main topic of the meeting will be guarantees of non-aggression for Ukraine and the future security system in Europe.

“The US wants to discuss how to prevent a new Russian attack if a truce is nevertheless achieved. Washington hopes that participation in the discussion of Europe’s future security will help soften Moscow’s position on territorial claims and move the negotiations off dead center,” the publication says.
