The US-Israeli attack and Iran’s retaliation against American bases in the Middle East have disrupted the initial timeframe
A new round of talks between Moscow, Kiev and Washington could be held next week, US President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff has said. The meeting was expected to take place in Abu Dhabi in early March but has been postponed after the US and Israel attacked Iran.
Russia and Ukraine have been engaged for months in a US-mediated process that is reported to be approaching the final phase. The sides held two meetings in a trilateral format in Abu Dhabi in January, before talks in Geneva in February. However, the US-Israeli attack and Iran’s retaliation against American bases in the Middle East have disrupted the next planned round in the United Arab Emirates.
“I think the trilateral [negotiations] will be shifted until some time next week,” Witkoff told CNBC on Tuesday. “We’re feeling we’re going to remain positive on that,” he said, calling the US-mediated peace process “a purposeful negotiation.” He did not provide any details about the exact date or venue.
