Russia Calls Ukraine Peace Talks 'Constructive' But Warns of 'Significant Work Ahead'

  • Russia described recent US-brokered peace talks with Ukraine as held in a "constructive spirit" but noted major differences persist.
  • The talks took place in Abu Dhabi, involving negotiators from Russia, Ukraine, and the United States, aiming to end the nearly four-year conflict.
  • Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated no breakthrough occurred, emphasizing "significant work ahead" despite the positive start.
  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also found the talks constructive but acknowledged serious disagreements, particularly regarding territorial claims.
  • Ongoing fighting, including Russian strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, underscored the challenges to peace efforts during the negotiations.

Why It Matters: Peace talks between Russia and Ukraine show constructive spirit but significant hurdles, especially territorial disputes, remain.
