Ukraine-Russia Talks Continue in Abu Dhabi Amidst Energy Crisis

Ukrainian and Russian negotiators are continuing talks in Abu Dhabi on Saturday, focusing on the territorial issue, which remains highly contentious. Despite the discussions, no significant concessions have been made by either side. Simultaneously, Ukraine is facing a severe energy crisis due to Russian aerial bombardments. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy emphasized that Russia must be prepared to end the war it started, and he is in constant contact with the Ukrainian delegation. The US is pressing Kyiv to reach a peace agreement, while Moscow demands the cession of the Donbas region. Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump in Davos did not yield any immediate results.
