Abu Dhabi peace talks end with prisoner exchange agreement as US envoys prepare to meet Putin

Steve and I are going to travel to Moscow tomorrow to meet with President Putin to go over what was discussed today. God bless you all and I'm sure Here in the UAE, the mood from Washington is one of cautious optimism. Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the first day of talks very productive, but warned that much work remains and a settlement is not imminent On progress, Jared Kushner, leading the US delegation alongside Steve Witkoff, said there were some good ideas how to bridge the differences between Ukraine and Russia. More broadly, he said Washington wants a new framework for a lasting peace, but significant disagreements remain over territory and security arrangements, with no breakthrough announced on either. So the key question on this second day is whether Washington's efforts can deliver tangible progress particularly on humanitarian measures and also on security guarantees. Beyond these talks here in the UAE, there are reports that Witkoff and Kushner could travel on Monday to Moscow and Kiev, although those visits have not yet been confirmed. As always, we'll keep you updated throughout the day.
