📰 Ukraine, Russia Head to UAE: No Compromise in Sight on Donbas Ukrainian and Russian negotiators are meeting in Abu Dhabi to discuss the fate of Donbas—the war’s most contentious issue. But with both sides digging in, there’s little hope for a breakthrough. Ukraine refuses to surrender territory Russia has failed to conquer, while Moscow insists on controlling all of Donbas before halting its attacks. “The question of Donbas is key,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. “It will be discussed how the three sides... see this in Abu Dhabi today and tomorrow.” Russia demands Ukraine cede about 5,000 sq km of Donetsk—land it has not captured after four years of brutal fighting. Kremlin officials say this is “a very important condition,” while Zelenskiy calls the idea “nonsense,” insisting Ukraine will fight to use frozen Russian assets for its own reconstruction. Meanwhile, Zelenskiy says a deal on U.S. security guarantees is ready, awaiting only President Trump’s signature. Even as Russia escalates attacks on Ukraine’s energy grid and freezing temperatures cripple its cities, trust in Ukraine’s peace intentions among Western governments remains extremely low. So who’s bluffing, and who’s bleeding? As the talks drag on, one thing is clear: the war won’t end until someone’s map changes. #Ukraine#Russia#Donbas#AbuDhabi#PeaceTalks#Zelenskiy#Putin#Trump 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸
