Zelenskyy Announces Second Round of Trilateral Talks in Abu Dhabi Amid Wartime Tensions.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has confirmed that the second round of trilateral talks with Russia and the United States to end the war will take place in Abu Dhabi this week. The discussions, which were first initiated last month, have been criticized for failing to make significant progress on key issues, particularly the question of territory.
The latest round of negotiations comes as tensions between Ukraine and Russia remain high, despite a temporary energy ceasefire agreed upon by US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The two leaders announced that strikes on energy infrastructure would be suspended for a week due to cold weather, but Ukraine believes this will only last until the following Friday.
Meanwhile, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has stated that Russia is close to achieving a military victory in the Ukraine war, although acknowledged that preventing new conflicts was also crucial. In contrast, US envoy Steve Witkoff expressed optimism about the ongoing talks with Russian officials, citing a constructive meeting between the two parties in Florida.
Despite these developments, hostilities continue, with reports of drone strikes and air attacks on Ukrainian cities. The situation remains volatile, with Ukraine's energy system facing relentless attacks due to extreme weather conditions.
The second round of trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi will likely focus on finding solutions to the ongoing crisis and securing a lasting peace agreement between Russia, Ukraine, and the United States. As Zelenskyy has emphasized, the goal is to reach a real and dignified end to the war, with a focus on substance over mere symbolism.

abu dhabi's got some nice views tho, hope the Ukraine-Russia-US trio can make some progress on that territory thingy 
guess we'll just have to wait & see if this round is gonna be more fruitful than the last one 
I mean, cold weather is supposed to disrupt the energy ceasefire? That's some pretty sloppy planning. And what's with Medvedev saying Russia is close to achieving a military victory? 
You can't have it both ways, dude. Anyway, back to Abu Dhabi - seriously, who designs conferences and events without considering the layout? The talks are supposed to be about substance over symbolism, but I'm seeing some pretty lackluster design choices here... just a bunch of random bullet points on a white screen 
.
I cant believe its been like 2 months since those trilateral talks started n we still havent heard anythin concrete about wht's goin on!!! 
Meanwhile, Ukraine is just tryin to survive with all these attacks n energy stuff 
Can we pls just get a clear answer on wht's happenin?!?! 
The talks r in Abu Dhabi this week so fingers crossed dey actually make some progress 
. I'm all for finding solutions and securing peace, but the fact that Zelenskyy is having to make another announcement just shows how far off track these talks are 
... Meanwhile, Ukraine's energy system is getting smashed and we're still debating the finer points of territorial control 
... Can't we just focus on stopping the violence for once? 
but for real though, this is getting old and no one's making any concrete progress 
anyway, i'm keeping my fingers crossed that these talks will actually lead to something substantial this time 
. Anyways, I hope Abu Dhabi talks will bring some real progress this time 
. It's like they're taking steps forward just to say they took steps forward 
. We need concrete solutions, not empty words 
. I'm all for a lasting peace agreement, but we need to see it happen on the battlefield too 
. Can't we talk about this without making promises that might not be kept? 
. And on the other hand, if US envoy Steve Witkoff is being optimistic about the talks, but doesn't share those vibes with his own government... what's up? 
. Can we ever truly know if we're making progress until it actually happens on the ground? Maybe that's the only way to find out 
Dmitry Medvedev saying Russia is close to winning is super sketchy tho... like, how do you even measure a 'victory' in this war? 
and ukraine's energy system is literally being destroyed... it's so heartbreaking 
. I mean, I get it, diplomacy and all that, but can't we just get some concrete solutions for once?
