Kushner and Witkoff open first three-way Ukraine peace talks in nine months in Abu Dhabi
U.S. envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff meet Ukrainian negotiator Rustem Umerov and Putin aide Vladimir Medinsky in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday and Wednesday, the first trilateral talks since February in Geneva, Fox News reported. A U.S. official said Washington has asked Russia to accept an "Article Four and an Article Five-like" security guarantee for Ukraine and that both sides have shown "a little bit of flexibility privately" on territory, though no final deal is expected this week. Officials said sanctions on Russia could be eased over time but "spring back" if Moscow breaks a deal.
