Ukraine War: Peace Talks Stumble, but Hopes Rise for US Security Pact Ukraine, the US, and Russia held their first trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi, with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announcing that a US security guarantee agreement is ready for signing—though no peace deal has yet been reached, and fighting rages on. The next round of negotiations is set for early February, but major disagreements remain, especially over territory. Zelenskyy insists Ukraine’s territorial integrity must be respected, while Russia continues to demand Ukrainian withdrawal from Donbas, calling it a “vital condition” for any deal. “These two fundamentally different positions—Ukraine’s and Russia’s. The Americans are trying to find a compromise,” Zelenskyy said, stressing that “all sides must be ready for compromise”. ​ Despite diplomatic efforts, Russia has intensified its attacks, launching thousands of drones and missiles this week alone. Zelenskyy has called for more air defense support from Western partners, warning that winter conditions have made infrastructure repairs even more difficult. Meanwhile, the Kremlin has dismissed talks with EU officials, with spokesman Dmitry Peskov calling the bloc “incompetent” and refusing to engage with EU leadership. “The war must end,” Trump said after meeting Zelenskyy in Davos. A preliminary agreement on US security guarantees is ready, intended to deter Russia from launching new offensives after a potential cease-fire. However, the territorial issue was not yet resolved. ​ So is peace near, or are both sides just playing for time? As missiles rain down and diplomats shuffle between capitals, the only certainty is that the endgame remains uncertain. #UkraineWar#PeaceTalks#Zelenskyy#Russia#US#AbuDhabi#securityPact 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸
