U.S.-Brokered Talks on Russia-Ukraine Conflict Commence Amidst Continued Hostilities

U.S.-brokered talks between Russia and Ukraine are set to begin in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, following a day of intense hostilities. Russian forces targeted four electrical substations in Ukraine's Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Cherkasy, and Vinnytsia regions, as confirmed by Russia's Defense Ministry. Concurrently, Ukrainian forces launched long-range drone attacks, striking the KINEF oil refinery near St. Petersburg, one of Russia's largest, and a plant producing solid rocket propellant for Iskander-M ballistic missiles. President Trump stated in a '60 Minutes' interview that Moscow and Kyiv are 'very close' to a deal, despite the 'tremendous hatred' between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Trump indicated that Ukraine would have a 'little bit different shape' under the settlement but did not elaborate. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov noted that 'collective security' is a top agenda item for the two-day discussions.
