A lot of progress was reached in the recent US-Russia-Ukraine consultations in Abu Dhabi, US Special Presidential Envoy Steve Witkoff said. "We had five Russian generals last Sunday in Abu Dhabi with [Donald Trump’s son-in-law] Jared [Kushner], and I, and [US Secretary of the Army] Dan Driscoll. I think the people of Ukraine are now hopeful and expecting that we're going to deliver a peace deal sometime soon," the US envoy added. The Emirati capital of Abu Dhabi hosted Russia-US-Ukraine talks on January 23-24. Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on January 28 that the plan was to continue the Abu Dhabi consultations on February 1.
