In the first US-brokered Russia–Ukraine talks since February in Abu Dhabi, led by Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, the sides agreed to the war's largest prisoner exchange — over 1,000 each — but made little progress on peace, with the territorial dispute unresolved. Ukraine's David Arakhamia reported big progress on security guarantees; Russia's Vladimir Medinsky demanded peace on Moscow's terms and dismissed European envoys, while Ukraine struck the Ust-Luga energy port and Russia launched drones at Kyiv. Kushner, due in Moscow Thursday, urged Europe to pick a single representative for future talks.
