According to a report on the US Axios News website on the 9th, the US government is “cautiously optimistic” about the upcoming peace talks between Russia and Ukraine to be held in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. An anonymous US official told the media on the same day: “We have an opportunity to make significant progress in reaching an agreement... As a mediator, we have seen positive signs.” The official also said that Russia and Ukraine have “shown some flexibility” on the territorial issue in recent weeks, but it is impossible to reach a consensus on the territorial issue until a security agreement is reached.
