After two days of peace talks in Abu Dhabi, discussions between Russia, Ukraine, and the US concluded without a breakthrough, as Russia continued its bombardment of Ukrainian targets. Despite the lack of immediate progress, a second round of talks is scheduled to begin next week.

• The talks were the first trilateral meeting since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
• Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky raised the possibility of a second meeting as early as next week, with a US official confirming the next round will start on February 1.
• Russian strikes killed one person and injured 35 others overnight into Saturday, leading Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha to call the attack "brutal" and a direct hit on the "negotiation table."
