Ukraine says US security guarantees deal '100% ready'
""For us, security guarantees are first and foremost guarantees of security from the United States. The document is 100% ready, and we are waiting for our partners to confirm the date and place when we will sign it," the Ukrainian leader told reporters on Sunday during a visit to Vilnius, the Lithuanian capital. "The document will then be sent for ratification to the US Congress and the Ukrainian parliament," he said."
"On Friday and Saturday, negotiators from Ukraine, Russia and the US held their first trilateral meeting in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, to discuss Washington's framework for ending Russia's nearly four-year full-scale invasion. The meeting included not only diplomats but also military representatives from all three sides. No peace deal emerged from the talks but Zelenskyy said they were "productive." Negotiators will return to Abu Dhabi on February 1 for the next round of talks, according to a US official."
A US security-guarantees document for Ukraine is complete and awaits partner confirmation of signing date and place, followed by ratification in the US Congress and the Ukrainian parliament. Negotiators from Ukraine, Russia and the US met in Abu Dhabi, including diplomatic and military representatives, to discuss Washington's framework for ending Russia's nearly four-year full-scale invasion. No peace deal emerged, but talks were described as productive and negotiators will return on February 1. Fundamental differences remain over territorial issues. Ukraine demands full territorial integrity, while the Kremlin insists on Kyiv withdrawing troops from areas Russia claims to have annexed.
