Russia, US, and Ukraine conclude trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi with prisoner swap deal

Two days of U.S.-mediated trilateral talks between Russia, the United States, and Ukraine ended on Wednesday in Abu Dhabi. The parties agreed in principle to a large-scale prisoner exchange, though no breakthroughs were announced regarding a ceasefire, territorial disputes, or long-term security guarantees.

Following the session, U.S. negotiator Jared Kushner called the discussions a substantive first step. He and U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff will travel to Moscow on Thursday to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin, before flying to Dublin to brief Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Kushner expressed hope that Putin will agree to include Europe in future talks.

In Dublin, Zelenskyy insisted that Europe must participate in peace negotiations, urging European nations to select their representative this month. Meanwhile, Russian chief negotiator Vladimir Medinsky stated that Europe's security architecture was central to the talks, noting Russia had no contact with European officials in Abu Dhabi. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov added that Putin will decide Moscow's next steps after briefings from Medinsky and the U.S. envoys.

Separately, NATO chief Mark Rutte affirmed Western alignment while urging defense spending after a U.S. soldier was arrested in Britain on suspicion of spying for Russia.
