Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said limited but tangible progress was made in talks on ending Russia’s full-scale invasion, while stressing that any agreement must respect Ukraine’s territorial integrity.
Speaking in Vilnius after two days of Ukraine–Russia–US talks in Abu Dhabi, Zelenskyy said the number of contentious issues had fallen but warned Moscow was still pressing territorial demands in eastern Ukraine. “There were many problematic issues. Now there are fewer,” he said, adding: “Our position on the territory is that integrity must be respected — we are fighting for our own.”
