The talks represent the most significant new diplomatic effort reported today to resolve the war that began with Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022. Their outcome remains uncertain, with major disagreements expected over territory, security guarantees and the conditions for any ceasefire. The negotiations are taking place as the United States also pursues diplomacy in the separate conflict involving Iran, making the Abu Dhabi meeting a potentially consequential test of Washington’s broader mediation role.
