Trump Signals Border Concessions for Ukraine Peace; Plans Putin, Xi Meeting

US President Trump has signaled a potential shift in US policy regarding Ukraine's territorial integrity, suggesting Ukraine may face border adjustments as part of a peace deal. This marks a departure from prior US insistence on Ukraine's full territorial integrity, with details remaining unspecified. The statements precede upcoming negotiations in Abu Dhabi.

Trilateral peace talks between Ukraine, Russia, and the US have resumed in Abu Dhabi after a nine-month pause, with confirmed participation from EU, NATO, and key European security advisers. The agenda focuses on security guarantees and principles for a peace deal, explicitly excluding a ceasefire, while Russia signals a hardened stance on territorial gains. Key uncertainties remain regarding the specific outcomes and Russia's willingness to engage constructively on territorial integrity.
