The next round of peace talks between Russian and Ukrainian delegations will be held on Wednesday and Thursday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced on Sunday.

Envoys from Russia, Ukraine and the US were expected to meet that day in Abu Dhabi to resume talks aimed at ending Moscow’s all-out invasion of its neighbour.

“We have just received the report of our negotiating team. The dates of the next trilateral meetings have been set: February 4 and 5 in Abu Dhabi. Ukraine is ready for meaningful talks and we are interested in an outcome that will bring us closer to a real and dignified end to the war,” Zelenskyy said in a Telegram post.

There was no immediate comment from US or Russian officials.

On Saturday afternoon, top Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev said he held a “constructive meeting with the US peace delegation” in Florida.

US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff too published about the meeting at X.

“Today in Florida, Russian Special Envoy Kirill Dmitriev held productive and constructive meetings as part of US mediation efforts to advance a peaceful resolution to the Ukrainian conflict,” Witkoff wrote.

Witkoff was joined by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, White House senior adviser Josh Gruenbaum and President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, he said.

“We are encouraged by this meeting that Russia is working to secure peace in Ukraine and are grateful for @POTUS’s critical leadership in seeking lasting and lasting peace,” Witkoff added.

Officials have so far released few details of the Abu Dhabi talks, which are part of a year-long effort by the Trump administration to steer the parties toward a peace deal and end the nearly four-year war.

While Ukrainian and Russian officials have agreed in principle with Washington’s calls for compromise, Moscow and Kiev differ deeply over what the deal should look like.

The central issue is whether Russia should keep or withdraw from areas of Ukraine occupied by its forces, especially Ukraine’s eastern industrial heartland called the Donbas, and whether it should gain land there that it has not yet taken.

On the other hand, Russian attack drones attacked a maternity hospital in southern Ukraine on Sunday morning, Ukrainian emergency services reported.

In a post on Telegram, it is stated that the attack injured three women in the hospital in the city of Zaporizhia, and also caused a fire in the gynecology reception area, which was later extinguished. The head of the regional administration, Ivan Fedorov, later said that the number of wounded had risen to six.

A few days earlier, US President Donald Trump said that Putin had agreed to temporarily halt the shelling of the Ukrainian capital and other cities while the region suffers from freezing temperatures that have caused severe hardship for Ukrainians.

The Kremlin confirmed on Friday that it had agreed to hold off on the attack on Kiev until Sunday, but declined to reveal any details, making it difficult to independently assess whether a conciliatory step had indeed taken place.

In the past week, Russia has struck energy facilities in the city of Odesa in southern Ukraine and in Kharkiv in the northeast. On Wednesday, it also hit the Kyiv region, killing two people and injuring four.

During the night on Sunday, Russia launched 90 attack drones, 14 of which attacked nine locations, the Ukrainian Air Force announced in a post on Telegram. A woman and a man were killed in an overnight drone strike in Dnipro, a city in eastern Ukraine, according to local government leader Oleksandr Hanzhi.

Russian shelling also hit central Kherson, a city in southern Ukraine, shortly after 7 a.m. local time, seriously wounding a 59-year-old woman, according to a Facebook post by the municipal military administration.
