US-mediated talks between Russia and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi entered a second day, the first such round since February, according to CNBC. Zelenskyy called the first round “constructive and quite substantive,” Bloomberg reports, and said he was “happy” with the approach of US envoys, the Guardian and CNBC report. Semafor reports that the talks aim at a truce covering energy infrastructure and Black Sea shipping, and describes the negotiations as stalled. CNBC reports that the sides remain far apart on Ukraine’s borders and security guarantees, and an analyst it quotes expects no major progress. US envoy Jared Kushner said he was encouraged by the discussions.
