Feb 05, 2026

Kiev [Ukraine]/Moscow [Russia], February 5: Peace talks between Ukrainian and Russian representatives were under way in Abu Dhabi, the Ukrainian delegation said on Wednesday.
Rustem Umerov, the secretary of the national security and defence council of Ukraine, announced the start of trilateral negotiations with the United States on Facebook.
Russian news agencies have also confirmed that talks have begun, as the two sides seek to find a path to peace following almost four years of war.
Ahead of the meeting, Moscow resumed attacks on its neighbour's energy infrastructure, with Ukrainian authorities reporting overnight strikes across several regions on Tuesday and Wednesday. The bombardment once again left millions of people without electricity and heating during bitter winter temperatures and disrupted ongoing repairs to the network.
