A trilateral meeting between Ukraine, the United States, and Russia is expected to be held in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports, citing foreign media outlets, that preparations for this high-level diplomatic engagement are currently underway.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated in his evening video address that preparations for the next trilateral format are being conducted on a broader scale. There is already extensive preparation for the next trilateral format. The next meeting will likely be held in the Emirates, specifically in Abu Dhabi. We expect the format to convene in early March, Zelenskyy emphasized.
The Ukrainian leader noted that all agreements reached must be finalized to ensure real security guarantees, and a meeting of the three countries' leaders should be prepared. According to him, this format could resolve many things in the context of negotiations to end the war. Zelenskyy also mentioned that he sees no signs of the Russian leadership stopping its war machine and stressed that pressure on Moscow must continue. We are discussing all possible pressure and diplomatic formats that can truly work with both America and Europe. It is very important for our partners to remain determined, the President added.
The involvement of the United States in these discussions follows the recent inauguration of US President Donald Trump in January 2025, whose administration has signaled a renewed focus on mediating international conflicts. Abu Dhabi has increasingly become a significant neutral ground for high-stakes diplomacy, leveraging the United Arab Emirates' strategic position and diplomatic ties with both Western powers and regional actors to facilitate dialogue in complex geopolitical crises.
