The next round of US-mediated peace talks between Ukraine and Russia is expected to take place in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, in early March, according to sources in Kyiv.
“It is necessary to finalize everything that has been achieved regarding genuine security guarantees and to prepare for a meeting of heads of state,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a video message. Such a summit could help resolve “key issues.” “When it comes to Russia, to such a highly personalised regime, then even more so than in other countries,” Zelensky added.
