WorldRussia and Ukraine discuss prisoners, security guarantees and postwar future on first day of Abu Dhabi talks

Negotiators met for more than four hours on the first day and confirmed a second round for the following day. Zelensky called the talks constructive and substantive but said dealing with Russia was difficult; U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio described them as very productive, while noting much work remained. Ukrainian media sources said discussions included security guarantees, postwar reconstruction and a new security framework, as well as prisoners of war; a large exchange may be announced.
