Watch this video on YouTube ↗
Russian and Ukrainian representatives met for peace talks on Tuesday for the first time in nine months.

President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff led the nearly-four-hour talks in Abu Dhabi.

While he was not a part of Tuesday’s dialogue, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the meeting “quite substantive” during ​a visit to Denmark.

And, while at a G7 gathering in Paris, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the talks potentially open the door to more multilateral discussions.
