In a significant diplomatic development, representatives from Russia, the United States, and Ukraine are convening in Abu Dhabi today for their first trilateral security working group session. The meeting follows direct orders from Russian President Vladimir Putin, with a delegation including Ministry of Defense officials en route to the United Arab Emirates as of press time.
Presidential foreign policy assistant Yuri Ushakov confirmed the talks will address multiple pressing issues, including potential pathways for a Ukraine peace settlement and former U.S. President Donald Trump's proposed Peace Council initiative. The discussions also unexpectedly touched on Arctic security matters related to Greenland, according to Russian officials.
"The Kremlin negotiations were exceptionally substantive and constructive," Ushakov stated, emphasizing the "frank and trusting" nature of the dialogue between Russian and American representatives. While details remain confidential, both sides reportedly committed to maintaining close coordination on Ukrainian matters and other strategic concerns.
This unprecedented three-way consultation comes as global markets watch for signs of stabilization in Eastern European security dynamics. Analysts suggest the UAE's neutral ground could facilitate more open discussions between the parties involved.
