I'm here at the venue of the peace talks in the UAE,
where we understand that the delegations
are meeting just a couple of rooms away.
They're now into their second day of negotiations.
Much of this process remains shrouded in secrecy.
Even we did not know where we were heading until we arrived here,
and now it's just a waiting game.
Security, as you expect, is tight.
And that reflects just how delicate these talks are.
Bringing Russian, Ukrainian and American negotiators together
in one building has taken months and months of diplomacy.
And these are the first talks of their kind since February.
From Kiev, President Zelensky described
the opening session as constructive,
saying it covered both humanitarian and security issues.
For Ukraine, the stakes could not be higher.
Even as negotiators sit down here,
Russia is ramping up attacks on the country's energy infrastructure.
Ukraine's Foreign Minister says he has urged Washington
to speed up delivery of air defence interceptors.
For now, the doors to the negotiations stay closed,
and the world waits to see what comes out of that room.
