Trilateral peace talks between Ukraine, Russia and the United States have begun in Abu Dhabi, with US officials saying both sides have shown some flexibility in private discussions. The negotiations aim to end Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, but major differences remain over territory and security arrangements. Moscow wants Kyiv to surrender the remaining parts of eastern Donetsk under Ukrainian control, while Ukraine wants to freeze the current frontline. US envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are leading Washington's delegation. European leaders are also seeking a role in the process. Officials say the talks could build momentum for further negotiations, rather than deliver an immediate breakthrough. (PC: BBC)
