"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the future of Ukraine's eastern Donbas region will be a key focus as negotiators from Ukraine, Russia and the United States meet in Abu Dhabi on Friday for talks to end Russia's nearly four-year full-scale invasion. The UAE's foreign ministry said the talks commenced on Friday and are scheduled to continue over two days as part of ongoing efforts to promote dialogue and identify political solutions to the crisis."
"The three-way talks come hours after Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed the settlement in Ukraine with U.S. President Donald Trump's envoys during marathon overnight talks. The Kremlin insisted that to reach a peace deal, Kyiv must withdraw its troops from the areas in the east that Russia illegally annexed but never fully captured. Zelenskyy, meanwhile, reiterated his openness to establishing a free trade zone under Ukraine's control in the country's east."
