"Ukraine and Russia have agreed to hold a second round of US-brokered direct peace talks next weekend after a two-day meeting in Abu Dhabi, despite Ukrainian complaints that negotiations were undermined by a barrage of deadly strikes. The trilateral talks in the UAE would resume on 1 February, a US official said on Saturday, adding: I think getting everyone together was a big step."
"Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy said a lot was discussed, and it is important that the conversations were constructive. Russia was criticised for launching drone and missile attacks on Kyiv and Kharkiv Ukraine's two largest cities during peace talks in Abu Dhabi, reported Peter Beaumont. Peace efforts? Trilateral meeting in the UAE? Diplomacy? For Ukrainians, this was another night of Russian terror, the country's foreign minister, Andrii Sybiha, said after the latest Russian assault on critical infrastructure."
