Abu Dhabi discussions on post-war European security wrap up without a breakthrough

Delegations from Russia, Ukraine and the United States wrapped up two days of trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi focused on the future security architecture of Europe and ending the ongoing war. While American negotiators noted some openings, Ukrainian officials described the discussions as extremely difficult due to strict directives from Moscow, and no immediate breakthrough was achieved. Despite the lack of a final agreement, both Moscow and Kyiv confirmed that a large-scale prisoner of war exchange is being planned. US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are scheduled to travel to Moscow to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin and to Dublin to speak with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to continue diplomatic efforts.
