Abu Dhabi Peace Talks Begin

What happened

Russia, Ukraine and the United States began two days of peace talks in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, their first such meeting since February.
U.S. officials said envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner aim to persuade Moscow to include European officials in broader negotiations on security guarantees and Europe’s relationship with Russia.
Russia has resisted European participation, but Ukrainian negotiators met with U.S., European and NATO representatives before the three-way talks.
Fighting continued as Ukraine’s air force reported a Russian missile and drone attack overnight, while Russia’s Defense Ministry said it intercepted Ukrainian drones.
Talks are scheduled to continue Wednesday, with no agreement reported and questions over security guarantees and Europe’s role still unresolved.
