The first day of talks between Russia, the U.S., and Ukraine has concluded

The first day of trilateral talks between Russia, Ukraine, and the United States in Abu Dhabi has ended, with the negotiations set to continue the next day.

This was reported by Sky News.

According to the outlet, the parties will consult with their respective capitals to report interim results.

Media, citing a senior U.S. administration official, reported that the meeting in the UAE is proceeding productively.

The first trilateral meeting involving delegations from Russia, Ukraine, and the United States began on January 23 in Abu Dhabi. For both Moscow and Kyiv, the issue of Donbas’ status is of fundamental importance and will be discussed during the meeting. Kyiv also confirmed that Donbas’ status would be discussed in the UAE.

Donald Trump said that the parties to the conflict in Ukraine already know the parameters of a peace agreement, and that if Kyiv continues to delay signing it, it risks losing even more territory. The U.S. president made these remarks after meeting Volodymyr Zelensky in Davos—a meeting that, according to the Financial Times, ended without any documents being signed, which was a setback for the Ukrainian leader. Zelensky called the meeting good, but noted that the territorial issue remains unresolved.
