Ukrainian, Russian and American negotiators are due to meet on Tuesday in Abu Dhabi, under US mediation, to discuss ending the war in Ukraine. It is the first such meeting in more than nine months, according to Vanguard. The talks are led by Jared Kushner, son-in-law of President Donald Trump, and by special envoy Steve Witkoff.

Europeans will also send representatives, concerned that Washington is discussing a deal with Moscow on European security. Kyiv has ruled out ceding the Donetsk territories that Russia is demanding. Shortly before the talks, a Russian strike killed 55 people, according to Kyiv, in a front-line village where residents were queuing for humanitarian aid. Volodymyr Zelensky sees it as an attempt to pressure Ukraine’s position.
