US envoys to meet Putin and Zelensky after Abu Dhabi talks
US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Dublin on Thursday, following two days of talks in Abu Dhabi. Zelensky suggested a window to end the war could emerge before 2027. Kyiv and Moscow agreed to a large-scale prisoner exchange as the Abu Dhabi talks concluded, though no concrete figures were provided. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said the US-mediated talks showed the US, Ukraine, and Europe were "aligned and united." A Russian strike on a market in Ukraine's Odesa region killed three people and injured 11 others, according to the regional governor. Europe continues to push for a role in the negotiations.
