Ukraine, Russia and the United States resumed trilateral negotiations in Abu Dhabi on Saturday, a day after launching their first joint talks since Russia began its full-scale invasion in February 2022. The closed-door meetings focus on conditions for ending the war and on disputed territory in eastern Ukraine. The talks take place as Russian forces carried out one of the largest air assaults of the year against Ukrainian cities overnight.
