As the second round of Abu Dhabi peace talks took a short break, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky unexpectedly made a statement over the weekend that shocked the West, Logos Press reported, citing German publication Junge Welt.

Abu Dhabi is hosting talks between representatives of Russia, the USA and Ukraine, which will last two days – on January 23 and 24. The first meetings devoted to security issues will be held in the most closed mode. No media representatives are expected to attend them, and the exact venue of the talks has not been announced.

Moldovan ambassador to the USA Vladyslav Kulminski has admitted the possibility that the war in Ukraine could be over within the next six months. He said this in an interview with the US digital platform MS NOW, Logos Press reported.

Russia and Ukraine “may be very close” to ending a war that has lasted nearly four years, Logos Press reports.

The third round of talks between Russian and Ukrainian delegations took place in Istanbul on July 23, during which the sides discussed mutual memorandums on conflict resolution that they exchanged after previous talks in May, Logos Press reported.
