"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says a second round of trilateral talks on ending the war with Russia will take place in Abu Dhabi this week as the fate of a temporary energy ceasefire hangs in the balance. Zelenskyy, whose country's energy system has come under relentless attack in one of the coldest winters in years, said envoys from the United States, Russia and Ukraine would meet in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday and Thursday."
"The next round had been scheduled to take place on Sunday but may have been delayed because of the US-Iran crisis. US President Donald Trump, who has said he wants to be remembered as a peacemaker, has repeatedly said a deal to end the Ukraine war is close and on Thursday announced that Russian President Vladimir Putin had agreed to stop strikes on energy targets for a week due to cold weather."
A second round of trilateral talks between the United States, Russia and Ukraine will take place in Abu Dhabi as negotiators seek a temporary ceasefire for energy infrastructure amid severe winter conditions. Ukraine's energy system has faced relentless attacks during one of the coldest winters in years. Envoys will meet on Wednesday and Thursday to pursue a substantive discussion aimed at a real and dignified end to the war. The first round in late January made little progress on territorial issues, with Moscow demanding Kyiv cede a fifth of Donetsk and Kyiv refusing. Confusion surrounds a purported temporary halt to strikes on energy targets that different sides dated inconsistently. US envoys have continued direct talks with Russian counterparts.
