Abu Dhabi hosts second day of Russia-Ukraine-US talks today
The second day of trilateral talks between Russia, the United States and Ukraine to end the war began in Abu Dhabi, amid discussion of a major prisoner exchange and disagreement over European participation.
The second day of trilateral negotiations between Russia, the United States and Ukraine aimed at ending the war between Russia and Ukraine began in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. The delegations returned to the negotiating table after an initial round that lasted about four hours yesterday.
The Russian delegation is headed by Vladimir Medinsky, an adviser to Russian President Vladimir Putin, while the Ukrainian delegation is led by Rustem Umerov, head of Ukraine’s Foreign Intelligence Service. The talks also include US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, representing President Donald Trump.
The UAE as mediator
The UAE is playing a prominent mediating role between Moscow and Kyiv, having helped facilitate several prisoner exchanges between the two countries in recent years.
On the first day, the delegations discussed the creation of a regional security framework after the settlement of the Ukrainian crisis. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the talks addressed a prisoner exchange involving 1,000 for 1,000 or 1,500 for 1,500.
Dispute over Europe’s role
Umerov said in a social media post: “We will first hold a trilateral meeting with the United States and Russia, then we will hold a separate meeting with our European allies.”
Ukraine is calling for European representatives to be included in the negotiating process, while Russia rejects the idea. The delegations are expected to hold a news conference at the conclusion of the talks.
