UAE Hosts Trilateral Talks Between Russia, Ukraine And United States In Abu Dhabi

The UAE is hosting two days of trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi, bringing together representatives from Russia, Ukraine and the United States. The discussions aim to support political efforts to address the crisis, which has lasted for nearly four years and caused severe humanitarian hardship.

These meetings form part of wider diplomatic efforts led by the UAE over recent years. The country has already mediated 17 prisoner exchange arrangements between Russia and Ukraine. Those initiatives led to the release of 4,641 detainees, highlighting sustained channels of communication with both sides.

H.H. Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, stressed that the UAE maintains established partnerships with Russia, Ukraine and the United States. These long-term ties support strategic cooperation and allow the UAE to host dialogue when responsible diplomacy is especially necessary.

Sheikh Abdullah said that holding the trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi reflects international confidence in the UAE’s role. The approach focuses on supporting peace efforts and turning difficult challenges into practical opportunities for people in both countries and across the wider region surrounding them.

H.H. Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed welcomed the decision to convene the trilateral talks in the UAE capital. Sheikh Abdullah expressed hope that the discussions would produce concrete steps towards ending a conflict that has continued for almost four years and generated extensive humanitarian suffering.

Sheikh Abdullah also underlined the UAE’s belief that lasting settlements to conflicts depend on dialogue and de-escalation. The UAE remains committed to building diplomatic bridges and supporting any achievements reached through these important talks, which are taking place at a particularly sensitive stage.

UAE trilateral talks and international support

H.H. Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed commended the role of US President Donald Trump in supporting the organisation of the trilateral talks. Sheikh Abdullah noted that these efforts help reinforce stability and back the wider political track aimed at finding negotiated solutions to the ongoing crisis.

The discussions in Abu Dhabi are scheduled to continue over two days as part of continuing work to encourage dialogue and identify political options. The UAE’s record in mediating prisoner exchanges, together with its ties to all three parties, underlines its position as a trusted venue for diplomatic and humanitarian initiatives.
