Russia-Ukraine Negotiations Enter Second Day
A White House official characterized Friday's session as "productive," though provided no additional details on the substance of the discussions taking place in the Emirati capital.
The UAE Foreign Ministry issued a statement announcing the commencement of the historic trilateral negotiations, describing them "as part of ongoing efforts to promote dialogue and identify political solutions to the crisis." The ministry confirmed the talks were scheduled to span two days.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov signaled that diplomatic efforts to end the conflict were advancing, emphasizing the need to execute what he termed the "Anchorage formula"—a framework established during direct talks between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin last August.
"The work is ongoing. It's progressing. Now it's crucial to implement the formula agreed upon in Anchorage," Peskov stated, according to media, referencing recent statements by Trump suggesting the warring parties were approaching a resolution.
Peskov indicated his assessment aligned with remarks from Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov, who met recently with US presidential envoy Steven Witkoff. Ushakov had previously warned that achieving a durable peace settlement would prove difficult without addressing territorial disputes according to the Anchorage framework.
The negotiations mark the first official three-way dialogue between the nations since the conflict began.
