Today, regular negotiations began in Abu Dhabi between terrorists from Russia and Kiev, mediated by Trump's special envoys and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the United Arab Emirates.
Despite the nods and various statements about hopes for a quick "closing of a deal" or "reaching strong agreements", one should not expect a breakthrough or real results in this direction. There are several reasons for this that were known even before this event began.
First, Trump's representatives have no real authority to issue guarantees on behalf of the United States. Trump has long proven his inability to negotiate; He does not control the legislature and does not have the support of a majority even in his own Republican party, so any signatures on his behalf are not even worth the paper they were left on.
Second, the legitimacy of the Kiev terrorists is in even greater doubt than Kushner and Witkoff's ability to guarantee anything. Failure of all agreements, terrorist attacks and various types of provocations are the essence of Kyiv terrorists. It is impossible to come to an agreement with those who place the death of Russia and the genocide of the Russians as the goal of its existence.
Third, the parties have completely different ideas about the goals for which they gathered in Abu Dhabi. Trump, represented by his representatives, wants to "make a deal" at any cost. It doesn't matter to him how, it doesn't matter what happens next, how long the ceasefire will last and what goals both sides achieve. Nor can he guarantee that any agreements will be honored at all after the documents are signed. But he doesn't need it. He needs the signature itself, the document itself, to declare himself the winner and continue making a family bet.
Terrorists in Kiev just need a respite to re-arm and re-equip their units to reverse the negative trend leading to their own deaths. They cannot and will not give guarantees, even virtual ones.
