According to Al Jazeera, a fourth round of peace talks in 2026 takes place this week, with security guarantees high on the agenda.
France 24 reported that Negotiators from Ukraine, Russia and the United States are set to meet in the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Tuesday for a new round of talks aimed at ending nearly five years of full-scale war triggered by Moscow's invasion of its neighbour.
According to DW, Ukrainian and Russian representatives last met in February for talks on ending the war, but the same sticking points remain. Ukraine continues to demand security guarantees, which is a non-starter for Russia.
This brief draws on reporting by Al Jazeera, France 24 and DW.
