Recent discussions between Russia and Ukraine show some flexibility regarding territorial exchanges, according to a U.S. official. Negotiations mediated by the U.S. are set for Abu Dhabi. Despite unchanged public stances, both sides have shown willingness to negotiate privately about the Donetsk region. Security guarantees for Ukraine will be a key topic, including potential NATO Article 5 defense provisions. The territorial issue remains a significant obstacle in peace talks, with Ukraine seeking a return to pre-war borders and Russia aiming for full control of Donbas. Key representatives from both nations will attend the talks, alongside U.S. mediators.
