Ukraine peace talks continue this week – but Russia has one major demand
US security agreement for Ukraine '100% ready' to be signed, says Zelensky
Trilateral peace talks between Ukraine, Russia and the US are expected to continue this week, following initial "constructive" discussions held in Abu Dhabi.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that a security agreement with the US is "100 per cent ready" for signing, awaiting confirmation of a date and location.
Zelensky emphasised that security guarantees from the United States are of primary importance to Ukraine, with the agreement requiring ratification by the US Congress and Ukrainian parliament.
He reiterated calls for ongoing military support from allies, citing hundreds of buildings in Kyiv still lacking heating after recent Russian strikes.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov also described the talks as constructive but confirmed that Moscow's territorial demands remain unchanged.
