Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Saturday that delegations from Ukraine, the United States and Russia discussed possible parameters for ending the Ukraine crisis during their talks in the United Arab Emirates.

"It is important that the conversations were constructive," Zelensky said in a post on social media platform X.

According to Zelensky, the U.S. delegation raised the issue of potential formats for formalizing the parameters for ending the crisis, as well as security conditions required to achieve it.

Zelensky said all sides agreed to report back in their capitals on each aspect of the negotiations and to coordinate further steps with their leaders.

Further meetings will take place, potentially as early as next week if there is "readiness to move forward," Zelensky said, noting that "Ukraine is ready."

"I expect a personal briefing from the delegation upon its return," he added.

Representatives of the three countries held trilateral meetings in Abu Dhabi on Friday and Saturday, but no concrete agreements or joint statements were announced following the talks.
