Trilateral peace talks between the U.S., Russia and Ukraine underway in Abu Dhabi

ABU DHABI (CBS, KYMA) - Trilateral peace talks between the U.S., Russia, and Ukraine are underway in Abu Dhabi for the first time since February.

President Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, along with U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, are there to help broker an end to Russia's five-year-long war with Ukraine.

The fighting has shown no sign of slowing down with both sides continuing to trade attacks overnight.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio discussed the status of the three-way talks Tuesday while attending a G7 meeting in Paris.

"It looks like the talks in Abu Dhabi were very productive. I think the most important thing...obviously, there's a lot of work to be done in that regard," Secretary Rubio shared. "It's not like something that's on the verge of people solved in the next 24 hours or anything like that but what's really important is that the Europeans are at the table."

European leaders have pushed to be included in the discussions citing long-term securty concerns.

The two-day session is set to resume Wednesday.
