Points of attention

  • Trump's team is optimistic about the upcoming trilateral meeting in Abu Dhabi, anticipating further success in the peace negotiations.
  • The possibility of a meeting between Zelenskyy and Putin is heightened following the bilateral talks, raising hopes for a resolution to the ongoing conflict.

Peace talks between Ukraine and Russia have reached a new level

According to American insiders, during January 23-24, the parties managed to discuss all issues.

The main goal remains unchanged — this war must end and never resume.

"No one on either side was embarrassed by the discussions. We didn't leave any issues out of the discussion and we didn't have to push anyone. We saw a lot of respect in the room because they were really looking for a solution," one US official told the media.

As the Ukrainian official noted, "significant progress" has been achieved, but it is still unknown whether the Russian dictator really wants to end the war.

Bilateral talks between Ukraine and the Russian Federation also made a meeting between Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin more likely.

Trump's team believes that the next trilateral meeting in Abu Dhabi could be even more successful.

"We believe these meetings should take place before the leaders' meeting. We don't think it's far off. If we continue on the current path, we will get there," the insider stressed.
