US-mediated talks with Russia and Ukraine to start in Abu Dhabi.

Negotiators from Ukraine, Russia and the United States will hold talks in Abu Dhabi Tuesday on ending Europe’s worst conflict since World War II in the first such meeting in more than nine months, as another winter of war approaches.
Europe – alarmed by US President Donald Trump floating a deal with Moscow on European security ahead of the talks – will also send representatives to Abu Dhabi.
Trump has pushed for an end to the Russia-Ukraine war since returning to power, but previous talks produced no breakthroughs and the process became sidelined by the US-Israeli war against Iran. Europe and Ukraine fear the United States will force a deal on Kyiv that would amount to a de-facto capitulation, with Trump appearing to pivot towards Moscow this year. Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine has killed hundreds of thousands, displaced millions and has dragged on for 56 months, with the Kremlin showing no sign of backing down. Trump hinted Ukraine will have to give up land ahead of the talks, saying: “They’re going to end up with a little bit different shape, Ukraine.” Russia occupies large swathes of Ukraine but, while its troops have grinded westwards, they have not been able to seize the whole of the Donetsk region.
