"Ukraine, the US and Russia are meeting in the United Arab Emirates for their first trilateral talks aimed at finding options for bringing the Russia-Ukraine war to an end. Previously the sides had discussed peace proposals separately, holding bilateral meetings with US representatives. This is the first time they will sit at the same table. According to the US President's special envoy Steve Witkoff, the agenda in the UAE will have two key tracks: security and economic issues."
"Immediately after Davos, Witkoff traveled to Moscow with Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and Josh Gruenbaum,head of the US Federal Acquisition Service, which the procurement arm for US federal agencies. The trio met with Russian President Vladimir Putin and his aides. Following that meeting, Putin's aide Yuri Ushakov said that "it was once again stated that without resolving the territorial issue according to the formula agreed in Anchorage, one should not expect to achieve a long-term settlement.""
"After Moscow, the US delegation flew on to Abu Dhabi. The Russian delegation, Ushakov said, includes senior officials from the defense ministry, led by Russia's military intelligence services chief Igor Kostyukov. Separate talks on economic matters are also planned in Abu Dhabi between Witkoff and Putin's special representative Kirill Dmitriev. Ukraine's delegation is led by Rustem Umerov, secretary of Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council."
