Ukraine, Russia, and US resume talks in Abu Dhabi as war enters fourth winter

Negotiators from Ukraine, Russia, and the United States met Tuesday in Abu Dhabi to discuss ending the deadliest conflict in Europe since World War II, as another winter of war approaches. The talks include European representatives alarmed by President Donald Trump's push for a deal with Russia on European security. Trump has pressured for an end to the war since returning to power, but previous rounds have made no progress, and Ukraine and Europe fear Washington may force Kyiv into a de facto capitulation. The Russian invasion has killed hundreds of thousands and displaced millions over 56 months. Moscow demands Ukraine cede remaining territory in the Donetsk region, which Kyiv rejects. Russian attacks before the talks killed 55 people, and Ukrainian officials expressed low expectations for a breakthrough.
