Ukraine's foreign minister said on the 10th in Abu Dhabi that Kyiv raised core
demands at a US‑Russia‑Ukraine trilateral meeting: de‑escalation, a ceasefire,
security guarantees and a meeting between President Zelenskiy and President
Putin, and that a direct leaders' meeting could accelerate an end to the
conflict. Kyiv submitted sectoral ceasefire proposals for the Black Sea and
energy sectors and is awaiting a Russian response. The Abu Dhabi talks on the
10th are the first face‑to‑face trilateral meeting since negotiations stalled in
February, resuming after a nine‑month pause to explore political pathways to
resolve the crisis.
