Ending the Ukranian/Russian war--a Pipe dream?

Trump And U.S. Officials See Real Shot To End War In Ukraine

U.S. officials confirmed on Tuesday that a real shot exists to end the war after trilateral talks began in Abu Dhabi. American, Ukrainian, and Russian representatives gathered for their latest round of peace talks this week. President Donald Trump called the meetings a very good conversation about ending the fighting.

Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are leading the U.S. delegation in the talks. Kyiv's team is led by Rustem Umerov, the head of Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence Service. The Russian group includes Vladimir Medinsky, a Kremlin aide, and other senior officials. RedState reported that officials now speak with both warring countries every single day.

A U.S. official stated on a press call that the goal is to define how to end this war. "Our goal is really to make sure we can start defining how we're gonna end this war," the official said. For these talks, the administration seeks Russian agreement to a multilateral format. ABC News noted that this follows 1,721 days of Moscow's full-scale invasion.

President Trump emphasized that both nations are tired of the bloodshed. "Ukraine and Russia are tired of fighting. They're tired of seeing dead young soldiers," Trump added. He said the talks in Abu Dhabi are moving in a positive direction. Geneva hosted the initial U.S.-brokered trilateral meeting in February 2026.

Officials see a change in how both sides approach territorial disputes. A U.S. official noted that "both sides have shown a little bit of flexibility privately" on these key issues. Public stances remain unchanged, but private talks show new willingness to move. This shift comes after a year with little diplomatic progress and camps far apart.
