Despite limited outcomes, the talks reveal the geopolitical reality that Europe's security future is being shaped without direct EU involvement. Russia seeks to leverage military gains into political advantages, while the US aims for a diplomatic victory.

The choice of Abu Dhabi as a negotiation venue underscores the shifting dynamics in international diplomacy.
