Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he sees “changes” and is “very happy” about the messages from US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff on the path to ending the war, according to Reuters, in a report republished by the Korea Herald.

According to him, the agenda of the talks in Abu Dhabi included formulating a new security architecture for Europe, an idea raised the same day by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, and he called the notion “very difficult.” Earlier, Lavrov said Moscow would not agree to an immediate ceasefire without knowing what would happen next, and that it would be wiser to discuss the outlines of the future European security architecture first and a ceasefire in Ukraine afterward. The talks in Abu Dhabi are the first three-sided discussions since February.
