U.S.-Led Russia-Ukraine Peace Talks Set to Resume in Abu Dhabi
Talks to end the war between Russia and Ukraine are set to resume this week in Abu Dhabi after a nine-month lull, with a cease-fire not on the table.
U.S.-led talks aimed at ending the war between Russia and Ukraine will resume this week in Abu Dhabi after a nine-month lull, according to The New York Times. The newspaper said a cease-fire won't be on the table in the talks.
ABC News reported that, for the first time since February, Russian, Ukrainian and U.S. negotiators are scheduled to hold talks on ending the full-scale war, which is nearing its five-year mark. The report's headline states that the discussions will look at security guarantees for both sides.
The two accounts agree on the timing of the session, with The Times describing a nine-month lull and ABC News describing the scheduled talks as the first since February. They differ in emphasis. The Times centered its summary on the absence of a cease-fire, while ABC News centered its headline on security guarantees for both sides.
Both reports describe the talks as U.S.-led, though the phrase appears in the Times summary and in the ABC News headline. The Times placed the talks in Abu Dhabi, while the ABC News summary as provided names no location. Neither report names the individual negotiators who are scheduled to attend.
The Times described the effort as an attempt to end the war, which ABC News said is nearing its five-year mark. Taken together, the reports describe a single set of meetings scheduled this week, with security guarantees named as a subject and a cease-fire not on the table.
