Russia, Ukraine and US hold first day of talks in Abu Dhabi
Delegations from Russia, Ukraine and the United States met in Abu Dhabi for about four hours on Tuesday. It was the first three-way round since February. Zelensky called the talks constructive and said a large prisoner exchange of more than a thousand people was discussed. Officials reported no formal result. The US side also met European officials separately, and the talks are expected to resume on Wednesday.
Why it matters
Any progress on prisoner exchanges or security guarantees could affect the war's course and European security.
Background
Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. Earlier US-led rounds produced no breakthrough. Talks paused after the US-Iran war began.
