Further meetings of the delegations of Ukraine, the USA and Russia
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky announced on Friday that the next meeting of the delegations of Ukraine, the United States and Russia is planned for Sunday, February 1, in Abu Dhabi. He noted, however, that the date and place may change due to the dynamic international situation. Zelensky explained that a possible postponement of the talks is due to tensions in relations between the United States and Iran, which may affect the course of the negotiations.
The first trilateral peace talks involving Ukraine, Russia and the United States were held in Abu Dhabi on January 23 and 24. During a meeting with journalists on Friday, Donald Trump, the president of the United States, expressed his belief that an agreement between Ukraine and Russia was getting closer, but did not provide details of his position.
