The most recent development in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict is the announcement of a new round of peace talks scheduled for next week, as confirmed by Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov. According to The Frontier Post, these discussions, involving Russia, Ukraine, and the United States, aim to address the territorial disputes that have been a major sticking point in previous negotiations. Peskov stated, 'There is an agreement that it will indeed take place next week. We will inform you about the venue and dates.' This follows two unsuccessful rounds of talks in Abu Dhabi, where no significant breakthroughs were achieved, despite a prisoner exchange involving 314 individuals, as reported by The Newsmakers. The conflict, which began with Russia's full-scale offensive in February 2022, has resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and tens of thousands of civilians, making it Europe's deadliest conflict since World War II.
