"The meeting was confirmed in the early hours of Friday morning after talks at the Kremlin between the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, the US envoy Steve Witkoff and Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner. Kremlin diplomatic adviser Yuri Ushakov told reporters those talks were useful in every respect, adding that it was agreed that the first meeting of a trilateral working group on security issues will take place today in Abu Dhabi."
"The US president said on Wednesday that Putin and Zelenskyy would be stupid if they failed to come together and get a deal done. Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Thursday, Witkoff said one major issue remained to be resolved in the negotiations, without saying what it was. Zelenskyy said the future status of land currently occupied by Russia in the east of the country was unresolved but peace proposals were nearly ready."
Ukraine, Russia and the US are meeting in Abu Dhabi for the first trilateral talks since Russia's 2022 invasion. The meeting follows Kremlin discussions involving Vladimir Putin, US envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, and Kremlin adviser Yuri Ushakov said a trilateral working group on security issues will convene. It remains unclear whether Russian and Ukrainian officials will meet face to face. The US delegation will include Witkoff and Kushner and will meet a Russian team led by Gen Igor Kostyukov. The Trump administration is pushing for a peace settlement amid concerns that negotiations could pressure Ukraine over territory in Donetsk.
