The first round of the tripartite negotiations between the US, Russia and Ukraine ended in Abu Dhabi.
On Tuesday, November 10, negotiators from Ukraine and Russia concluded the first day of two days of negotiations brokered by the United States to find a way to end Russia's war against Ukraine; However, it is still unclear how far these secrets have progressed.
These negotiations in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates? It was the first face-to-face meeting between the Russian and Ukrainian officials since last winter, and it was held as the White House began new efforts to break the stalemate in the war, which is the largest and bloodiest land war in Europe since World War II.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who met his Ukrainian counterpart on the sidelines of the Group of Seven meeting in Paris, described the negotiations as "very productive". He said: "We believe that the tripartite format of the negotiations should ultimately include our European partners, because they are also part of the long-term solution to this issue."
Before the start of the negotiations, US officials expressed optimism about achieving basic progress. Steve Witkoff, the chief emissary of the White House, said that the issue of using "Europe's existing security institutions" will likely be raised in these talks.
Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of Donald Trump, the president of the United States, and Washington's second chief envoy in this process, also said at the beginning of the meeting that the United States had reduced differences to achieve "a solution that we hope will end the war." He did not provide further details.
