Abu Dhabi Trilateral Talks End Without Breakthrough, Conclude With Prisoner Exchange
Abu Dhabi sees Russia‑Ukraine‑US talks wrap up without breakthrough, ending with a prisoner exchange but leaving peace prospects uncertain.
POLICY WIRE — Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates — The first round of trilateral talks between Russia, Ukraine and the United States, held in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, ended without a breakthrough, despite a focus on Europe’s post‑war security framework.
The meetings marked the first round of negotiations in about nine months, following three earlier sessions this year that also stalled on key points.
Delegates from the three nations met in separate sessions, while U.S. officials were scheduled to meet President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky later that week.
Although the talks concluded with a prisoner exchange agreement, they did not resolve broader issues or secure a lasting ceasefire.
