Update: Zelensky calls first day of U.S.-Russia-Ukraine talks in Abu Dhabi "constructive and quite substantive"
The first three-way talks between Ukraine, Russia and the U.S. since February lasted about four hours in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, and President Volodymyr Zelensky said they covered humanitarian steps and the substance of long-term security guarantees for Ukraine, the New York Post reported. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who did not attend, called the first day "very productive." Control of the Donetsk region, about 80 to 85% of which Russia holds by most estimates, remains one of the biggest sticking points, the Post reported.
