KABUL (Pajhwok): Trilateral talks between representatives of the United States, Russia and Ukraine aimed at finding a solution to end the war between Moscow and Kyiv kicked off in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), on Tuesday.
The Associated Press (AP) reported that the two-day meeting was the first direct discussion between the three sides since February. The talks are being held under US mediation and are expected to focus on security guarantees for Ukraine and ways to prevent possible future Russian attacks.
It said the details of the discussions had not been made public and that the main part of the meeting appeared to be taking place behind closed doors.
Before the talks began, the Ukrainian delegation also met representatives from the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, NATO and the European Commission.
The talks are taking place as air and drone attacks between the two countries continue, while three previous rounds of discussions earlier this year ended without significant progress.
