US President Trump: Strong trend toward ending the war in Ukraine

US President Donald Trump stated that both sides are 'tired of fighting' and are showing a strong trend toward a resolution to end the war between Russia and Ukraine.

Making statements ahead of the trilateral talks led by the US scheduled to begin in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, Trump noted that the parties are open to compromise on territorial exchanges in private discussions. US officials confirmed that the focus of the talks will be the post-war security architecture and NATO-like Article 5 security guarantees for Ukraine.

Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will lead the negotiations on behalf of the US, which are expected to last two days. With Russia controlling approximately 20 percent of Ukrainian territory and the front line remaining largely static for months, the US side is expressing cautious optimism regarding diplomatic progress.
