00:00Overnight, senior officials from the Ukraine, the United States and Russia all landed here
00:04in the UAE for what will be the first peace talks since February.
00:07And they're shrouded in secrecy.
00:09We don't know the venue, we don't know if there's any media access, and certainly local
00:13officials aren't giving any clues as to the topics.
00:16What we do know is they're trilateral.
00:17That means Washington is mediating between Kiev and Russia.
00:20We also know that Ukraine has asked for security guarantees against what it calls Russian aggression.
00:25We also know that they're interested in talking about what their future defensive capabilities might look like.
00:31As for European involvement, well, the EU are in town today, and we have heard from the Ukrainians
00:36who've said that they will be having separate discussions with the European Union officials
00:41during today and tomorrow.
00:43We'll certainly keep you updated throughout the day as the talks progress.
