"The US army secretary Daniel Driscoll is reportedly meeting with Russian and Ukrainian officials for talks in Abu Dhabi today in another attempt to bridge the gap between the original US peace plan, informed by Russian demands, and the Ukrainian response, backed by Europe. Driscoll has already met with the Russians on Monday night, FT reported (), although there was no official confirmation of the discussions."
"But, despite the diplomatic efforts, Russia continues its attacks on Ukraine, with another wave of strikes overnight killing at least six and injuring 13 people. Its attack on the capital, Kyiv, knocked out water, electricity, and heat in parts of the city, it was reported, with further damage also recorded to Ukraine's energy infrastructure.

US Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll is meeting Russian and Ukrainian officials in Abu Dhabi to try to reconcile a US peace plan influenced by Russian demands with Ukraine's response supported by Europe. Driscoll previously met Russian representatives on Monday night, though there was no official confirmation. Ukraine is likely to be represented by intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov. Geneva talks saw Ukraine push back on some Russian maximalist demands. Despite diplomacy, Russia launched overnight strikes that killed at least six, injured 13, and damaged Kyiv's energy and water infrastructure. French president Emmanuel Macron warned against a settlement amounting to Kyiv's capitulation.
