Ukraine peace talks resume in Abu Dhabi with Russia, US, and Europe

Negotiations on the war in Ukraine will resume in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday and Wednesday, with high-ranking delegations from Russia, Ukraine, and the US, joined by European representatives. Russian presidential adviser Vladimir Medinsky will lead Moscow's team, while Ukraine sends presidential office chief Kirill Budanov. US President Donald Trump's chief negotiator Steve Witkoff and his son-in-law Jared Kushner will attend, alongside Russian deputy foreign ministers Sergey Ryabkov and Mikhail Galusin and military officials. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot announced European participation on Sunday. The talks mark another round in ongoing diplomatic efforts, though previous sessions have yielded no public breakthrough. The inclusion of Kushner and European envoys signals continued high-level engagement despite the lack of visible progress.
