Zelenskyy Announces Ukraine Peace Talks in Abu Dhabi Amidst Ongoing Russian Strikes

• Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced two-day peace talks involving US, Russia, and Ukraine envoys in Abu Dhabi on February 4-5.
• Zelenskyy expressed Ukraine's readiness for substantive discussion to achieve a "real and dignified end to the war."
• The announcement comes amidst continued Russian strikes across Ukraine, including a drone attack on a maternity hospital in Zaporizhzhia, injuring two women.
• Two people were killed in a separate enemy UAV strike in the central city of Dnipro.
• Previous talks in late January failed over territorial disputes; Russia had agreed to a temporary halt on Kyiv strikes at Donald Trump's request due to extreme cold.
