‘The only way to get this done’: Why the US wants Europe at Ukraine talks next time
After two days of talks in Abu Dhabi, Russia and Ukraine have agreed a major prisoner swap, with final numbers to be confirmed, U.S. officials say.
The US plans to seek Russian President Putin's 'blessing' for Europe to join future Ukraine peace talks, following recent diplomatic discussions in Abu Dhabi. Ukraine's leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy has urged European nations to quickly select a representative for these negotiations, emphasizing his desire to be consulted on their choice.
Security Review
The Abu Dhabi meetings opened with an agreement between the United States and European Union to establish a new security structure for Europe once Russia's war on Ukraine concludes. This collaborative approach signals a unified Western strategy for postwar continental security arrangements.
Prisoner Swap
The only way to get this done
During the recent talks, Ukraine and Russia engaged in 'constructive' negotiations regarding a prisoner exchange deal. While specific numbers remain pending confirmation, the agreement represents a significant diplomatic breakthrough in the ongoing conflict.
