Trump Offers Putin a Stalling Tactic in Abu Dhabi Talks

US representatives at Abu Dhabi talks offered Vladimir Putin the opportunity to prolong negotiations, a proposal he reportedly desired. The approach aims to address all issues simultaneously rather than through a phased process. The strategy, confirmed by Jared Kushner, abandons the step-by-step method diplomats consider essential for successful peace talks. Kremlin has long sought this "discuss everything at once" approach to distract from the war in Ukraine and stall progress. Russia's core demands remain unchanged, including guarantees Ukraine never joins NATO, limits on its military, and international recognition of Crimea and four eastern regions. Moscow insists it will continue fighting until these conditions are met.
