The talks between Russia, Ukraine, and the United States in Abu Dhabi ended after about four hours without a breakthrough. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio described them as 'very productive' but stressed that the path to an agreement is still long. American sources reported some flexibility on the issue of territories in eastern Ukraine, but no agreements were reached. Jared Kushner said the US narrowed the gaps between the sides. The main disputes remain: Russia's demand for territorial concessions and Ukraine's demand for security guarantees. Washington intends to expand the negotiations to include European representatives.
