Ukrainian official cites ‘common understanding’, but no sign territorial concessions or security guarantees are agreed
The White House on Tuesday trumpeted “tremendous progress” in peace negotiations with Russia and Ukraine, but as discussions continued in Abu Dhabi involving US, Russian and Ukrainian officials, there was little sign of progress on core sticking points that have prevented a deal taking shape so far.
The White House spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, put an optimistic spin on the talks, but conceded there were “a few delicate, but not insurmountable, details” that needed to be ironed out which would require further talks, she said in a post on X. US president Donald Trump said he believed a deal was “getting very close”.
