Russia and Ukraine hold new round of peace talks in Abu Dhabi

Russia and Ukraine have begun a new round of peace talks in Abu Dhabi, which are being brokered by the United States. The talks are scheduled to last for two days, with separate groups expected to discuss specific issues like a potential ceasefire.

Ukrainian officials described the first day of discussions as productive. The negotiations are continuing despite a recent large-scale Russian military strike, which Ukraine says will affect its negotiating stance.
