Summary

Trilateral talks between the United States, Ukraine and Russia happening in Abu Dhabi with negotiators sitting down for another round of talks to try and end a war which will mark four years this month. The talks will discuss the full peace proposal, including planned security guarantees for post-war Ukraine and discussions of territory swaps. Meanwhile, Russia continues to carry out missile and drone attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure breaking a week-long truce during the coldest winter of the war. FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Justin Fulcher, former senior advisor to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who says Russia's economic losses because of the war could be the driving force that ends it.
