"The United States, Russia and Ukraine rarely agree on anything. But as their delegations meet in Abu Dhabi for their first trilateral meeting since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the three parties seem to have come to the same conclusion: Only one issue remains to be resolved.
.
That issue is territory, namely the eastern Ukrainian region known as the Donbas. And based on their comments coming into the meeting, it is unlikely to be resolved.
.
Collectively known as the Donbas, the two coal-rich eastern Ukrainian regions of Donetsk and Luhansk used to be Ukraine’s industrial heartland.
.
Russian Presidunce Vladimir Putin has made no secret of the fact that he doesn’t believe Ukraine has the right to exist as an independent country – dismissing the sovereignty it gained in 1991 following the break-up of the Soviet Union.
.
He has claimed that Ukraine and Ukrainians are part of a larger “historical Russia” and has repeatedly – without any evidence – accused Kyiv of conducting “genocide” against Russian speakers in Ukraine."
