Anne Holper analysed during a live interview on ZDFheute
Talks in Abu Dhabi: A step towards peace in Ukraine? "This is the first time since February that representatives from Russia and Ukraine have met for peace talks. What to expect from the talks in Abu Dhabi"
"Ukraine and Russia are holding direct talks for the first time since February. The US is mediating the talks in Abu Dhabi. Could this be the start of peace? ZDFheute live analyses the situation.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio describes the talks as "very productive". However, Russia has rejected an immediate ceasefire. Moscow wants to negotiate a new security order in Europe first. Security guarantees for Ukraine are also a key focus. The talks are set to continue on Wednesday."
"Representatives from Germany, NATO and other European countries are also in Abu Dhabi. However, they are not at the negotiating table for the direct talks with Russia.
What has been achieved so far? What points of contention stand in the way of peace? Christian Hoch discusses this live on ZDFheute with conflict researcher Anne Holper from the European University Viadrina and ZDF reporter Sebastian Ehm, who is on the ground." (zdf)
