Negotiators from Washington, Moscow, and Kyiv have seen peace efforts stall since February, but they are now back at the table for a fresh round of talks to end the conflict in Ukraine.

It included US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Ukrainian intelligence chief Rustem Umerov and Russian presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky.

Russia's state-run TASS news agency said the discussions lasted more than four hours.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described the talks on social media as "constructive" and "substantive." He said they discussed humanitarian measures, prisoner releases and long-term security guarantees for Ukraine.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio shared that view with reporters during a trip to France.

Rubio said: "It looks like the talks in Abu Dhabi were very productive. I think the most important thing, obviously there is a lot of work to be done in that regard, it's not like something that's on the verge of being solved in the next 24 hours or anything like that."

He said the US eventually hopes to expand the discussions to include European countries.
