## Key points

- Abu Dhabi hosts renewed Ukraine, Russia and US peace talks.
- US officials report limited private flexibility over eastern Ukraine.
- Territory discussions are linked to post-war security arrangements.

## Summary

Renewed trilateral peace talks between Ukraine, Russia and the US are set to begin in Abu Dhabi, with US officials reporting limited private flexibility over the future of Ukraine’s eastern regions. The talks matter because any movement on territory appears tied to negotiations over post-war security, while the sides remain publicly far apart.

Russia has demanded that Ukraine give up the parts of Donetsk it still controls; Kyiv wants the current front line frozen. US proposals may include security consultations, crisis hotlines and reciprocal steps to reduce tensions, with Washington seeking to bring European countries into a wider format. The talks follow an earlier Geneva round that ended without a breakthrough and a Russian strike on a village in Zaporizhzhia that killed at least 40 people.
