An American official highlighted that security guarantees for Ukraine will be a key topic in upcoming discussions, including potential NATO-style defense. Both Ukraine and Russia have firm territorial claims, with Ukraine seeking to push Russia back to its original borders and Putin aiming for full control of Donbas. However, there is some private willingness for compromise from both sides. Any territorial agreement is expected to come after other issues, such as post-war security architecture, are settled. U.S. mediators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will lead the talks in Abu Dhabi and may later meet with Putin in Russia. The official expressed cautious optimism about progress, noting a genuine Russian desire to conclude the conflict.
