Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he hopes talks in Abu Dhabi will open a path to a direct meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, speaking at a joint appearance in Berlin with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Merz said Russia has yet to engage seriously in peace efforts, underscoring the gap between Kyiv's diplomatic push and Moscow's posture. The comments came during Zelenskyy's visit to Germany, a key military and financial backer of Ukraine. The article did not specify dates, amounts of aid, or the participants in the Abu Dhabi talks. What to watch next is whether the Abu Dhabi channel produces any Russian commitment to higher-level engagement, and whether Berlin signals further support.
