Earlier this week, on Monday and Tuesday, US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll landed in Abu Dhabi for a fresh round of talks with Russian officials. This diplomatic push, backed by President Donald Trump's administration, aims to find a path to lasting peace in Ukraine. 🕊️
According to US Army Lieutenant Colonel Jeff Tolbert, Driscoll and his team "have been in discussions with the Russian delegation to achieve a lasting peace in Ukraine." Tolbert added that "the talks are going well and we remain optimistic. Secretary Driscoll is closely synchronized with the White House… as these talks progress."
Meanwhile, the so-called Coalition of the Willing – a group of countries supporting Ukraine, including Britain and France – held a virtual meeting on Tuesday to explore new options and coordinate their next steps. 🌐📞
Behind the scenes, US and Ukrainian officials are racing to narrow their differences over a draft peace plan. Core issues remain unresolved, and Ukraine is cautious about any proposal that might lean too heavily toward terms set by the Kremlin.
Analysts say the key challenges include security guarantees, reconstruction funds, and the long-term status of contested regions. Ukraine wants a deal that protects its sovereignty and rebuilds its future, while Russia is pushing for concessions that many in the West see as benefiting Moscow. 🎯
What's next? The Driscoll team will share updates with the White House and other partners. At the same time, the Coalition of the Willing plans further virtual sessions to keep the momentum going. With tensions still high, many eyes are on Abu Dhabi to see if these efforts can move the needle toward a ceasefire and a stable solution.
