Russia confirmed Monday that the second round of negotiations with Ukraine and the United States to seek a way out of the conflict in Ukraine will be held Wednesday and Thursday in Abu Dhabi, after a delay attributed to scheduling problems between the delegations.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov explained that the talks were initially scheduled for last Sunday, but additional coordination between the three sides was necessary. "Now, the second cycle will take place on Wednesday and Thursday in Abu Dhabi," he said, confirming information advanced on Sunday by the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky.

Our negotiating team has just delivered a report. The dates for the next trilateral meetings have been set – February 4 and 5 in Abu Dhabi. Ukraine is ready for a substantive discussion, and we are interested in ensuring that the outcome brings us closer to a real and dignified…

The negotiations, according to AFP, will take place shortly before the four-year anniversary of the start of the Russian offensive in Ukraine, which began in February 2022, and come amidst renewed diplomatic efforts driven by Washington to end the war.

According to diplomatic sources, this new cycle is expected to focus on the territorial issue, considered one of the most sensitive points of the conflict. So far, none of the parties has given clear signs of significant progress in this area.

U.S. pressure and global tension hotspots

The United States has intensified its pressure for an agreement to end the war, which has left tens of thousands dead, millions displaced and widespread destruction of infrastructure, especially in eastern and southern Ukraine.

The conflict remains a major focus of geopolitical tension globally, while the negotiations in Abu Dhabi are seen as a new, albeit fragile, opportunity to explore a diplomatic way out.
