Zelensky expects concrete proposals from Witkoff and Kushner after their Putin talks

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said US special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner traveled to Russia with concrete proposals after talks in Abu Dhabi, and he hopes they will bring concrete proposals to their meeting with him in Dublin on Thursday. Zelensky stated at a press conference in Dublin that he expects the American negotiators to relay Russia's response to issues raised in Abu Dhabi, including a prisoner exchange of 1000 for 1000 or possibly 1200 for 1200, security guarantees for Ukraine, and ceasefires on energy, sea, and critical infrastructure. He expressed skepticism but maintained hope for concrete results. Zelensky also emphasized the importance of European participation at the negotiating table as equal partners, noting the US side has shown a warmer attitude toward this. A possible trilateral leaders' meeting addressing territorial issues was also discussed.
