“Progress, But No Peace: Ukraine–Russia Talks End Without Breakthrough”

After marathon negotiations in Abu Dhabi, mediated by the United States, Russian and Ukrainian officials say there has been “progress” — but no concrete agreement. Key sticking points remain unresolved: • Russia’s territorial gains in Ukraine • The structure of a potential ceasefire • Who would serve as peacekeeping forces • Security guarantees for both sides Ukrainian representatives insist their goal remains a “just and sustainable peace,” while negotiators describe the talks as “difficult but business-like.” Optimists see hope in continued dialogue. Skeptics say nothing has moved the needle. With the war now entering its fourth year, the next round of talks could determine whether diplomacy gains momentum — or stalls once again. #ownnewsnetwork #geopolitics #globalpolitics #peacetalks #middleeast #ukrainewar
