Zelenskyy's Abu Dhabi Demands: What He Got From Peace Talks

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported progress after trilateral peace talks in Abu Dhabi, announcing a humanitarian agreement to prepare a new prisoner exchange and discussions on security guarantees. Zelenskyy, who did not attend the talks, had demanded a specific sequence: ending the war first, then security guarantees for Ukraine, followed by broader European security dialogue. Russia and Ukraine agreed to exchange over 1,000 prisoners per side. US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff traveled to Moscow on Thursday to meet President Vladimir Putin, with Zelenskyy expressing hope for "concrete" results before their Dublin meeting. European leaders were not at the negotiating table, though both sides acknowledged Europe's role in future discussions.
