Historic Ukraine–Russia–US Peace Talks Begin in Abu Dhabi

 From Battlefield to Table: Ukraine, Russia and US Attempt Peace Breakthrough

For the first time since the Ukraine war reshaped global geopolitics, Ukraine, Russia, and the United States are preparing to sit across the same table in a rare three-nation peace dialogue. The meeting, scheduled in Abu Dhabi, is being seen as a cautious but meaningful step toward reducing tensions that have dominated international headlines for years. Diplomatic sources suggest the talks were quietly planned after a series of back-channel communications and separate discussions involving senior American and Russian officials earlier this month.

At the heart of the negotiations lies one of the most sensitive issues of the conflict — territorial control and long-term security guarantees. Russia has continued to insist that any peace framework must acknowledge realities on the ground, while Ukraine remains firm that its sovereignty and borders are non-negotiable. The United States, acting as a mediator, is expected to push for confidence-building measures, including limited ceasefire arrangements and humanitarian access to affected regions.

Although expectations for an immediate agreement remain low, the very act of bringing all three parties together has been welcomed by international observers. Experts believe this trilateral format could help prevent further escalation and create a structured path for future negotiations. The prolonged conflict has already triggered economic instability, energy crises, and humanitarian challenges far beyond Eastern Europe, making diplomatic engagement increasingly urgent.

Global leaders and analysts are watching closely, aware that even small progress could influence regional stability and global markets. While the road to peace remains uncertain, this meeting signals a shift from battlefield strategies toward dialogue — a development many see as overdue in a conflict that has reshaped the modern world order.
