Russia, Ukraine to meet for US-backed talks after Trump says broad deal possible
FreeGet stories like this compared, every morning at 7.
Trilateral talks involving the United States, Russia, and Ukraine commenced on Tuesday in Abu Dhabi, marking the first such diplomatic encounter since February. The two-day session, brokered by the U.S. administration, focuses on security guarantees and potential frameworks for ending the conflict that began in 2022. While President Trump recently expressed optimism regarding the possibility of a broad peace deal, some observers maintain low expectations for an immediate breakthrough. These negotiations coincide with reports from Ukraine's military claiming Russia suffered its highest single-day troop losses of the war, while leaked data allegedly suggests cumulative Russian fatalities have reached 450,000.
