The
USA is conducting secret high-level peace talks in Abu Dhabi seeking to end the
Ukraine war, led by
Daniel Driscoll and involving Ukrainian officials such as
Kyrylo Budanov and undisclosed Russian representatives. The negotiations focus on reconciling a revised 19-point US peace plan, first proposed by
Donald Trump and recently modified after European input, with Russian demands and
Ukraine's responses, as
Ukraine signals willingness to accept the plan pending minor clarifications.
Volodymyr Zelensky plans to visit the
USA to meet
Donald Trump and finalize the deal, with further talks ongoing amid continued Russian attacks on Kyiv and a flurry of diplomatic activity involving
NATO, the "
Coalition of Volunteers", and European leaders.
