Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced new trilateral meetings involving Ukraine, the US and Russia to discuss peace negotiations. The talks are scheduled to take place soon in Abu Dhabi, focusing primarily on security guarantees and territorial issues.
Meanwhile, the situation in Ukraine remains tense. Around 1,300 buildings in Kyiv are without heating, and in Kherson, Russian drones attacked local power facilities, leaving many without electricity and heat. Reports suggest that Russian strikes continue to target civilian infrastructure.
The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe has appointed a new chair, Petra from Austria, who affirmed the organization's pro-Ukrainian stance. European leaders are calling for increased support for Ukraine’s defense and tougher measures against Russia. Ministers like Wadaful and Dutch Prime Minister Rutte have emphasized the need to provide Ukraine with weapons, regardless of their origin.
Russian media have acknowledged the loss of momentum in Russia’s advance and the lack of strategic advantage. These issues are also being raised in ongoing negotiations.
In the US, political tensions around Donald Trump are rising: lawmakers hint at possible impeachment over his comments regarding Greenland and actions lacking parliamentary approval. European and British leaders have called for transparency and cooperation.
In summary: peace negotiations remain intense, Ukrainian infrastructure is suffering from attacks, European political support is increasing, and debates over Trump’s policies are ongoing in the US.
