Russian and Ukrainian delegates have begun their second and final day of discussions in Abu Dhabi as part of the Trump administration’s renewed push to mediate a deal that would bring an end to Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine.
State media reported on Wednesday morning that negotiation teams from the two warring countries, alongside White House envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, had once again sat down to discuss how to put a stop to the fighting.
On Tuesday, Kushner, U.S. President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, described the first day of the latest round of peace talks as “constructive.”
“We are working to end this devastating war and establish the security arrangements necessary for a sovereign, secure and prosperous Ukraine and lasting peace across Europe,” Kushner wrote in a post on X.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
