U.S.-mediated talks between Russian and Ukrainian officials concluded after about four hours in the United Arab Emirates, according to a report aired on Fox News Radio.
A social media post attributed to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and read aloud on the broadcast said the American side had asked Ukraine to hand over the Donbas region to Russia in exchange for security guarantees that would not include NATO membership. The post’s authenticity and exact wording could not be confirmed for this report.
The report described the UAE meeting as the latest round of talks aimed at ending Russia’s war in Ukraine, and said another round was expected to take place the following day, though that could not be confirmed independently.
Neither the U.S. State Department nor Russian or Ukrainian officials have issued public statements confirming the details attributed to Zelensky’s post.
The talks are part of ongoing international efforts to broker an end to the conflict, which has continued for years. Details of any agreement or further negotiations were not available at the time of this report.
