Italy’s Corriere della Sera, citing sources, reports that the documents expected to be discussed at talks in Abu Dhabi предусматривают that Kiev would give up territories in exchange for an $800 billion financial support program and security guarantees.

According to the newspaper, four documents will be presented at the first trilateral meeting of negotiating groups from Russia, the United States, and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi. They are expected to form the basis of a peace treaty. One of the documents reportedly calls for a complete withdrawal of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from Donbass.

As compensation, the paper says the US side would offer a document outlining an $800 billion financing program for Ukraine, to be implemented under the leadership of Larry Fink, head of the US investment company BlackRock. Another document reportedly addresses security guarantees involving the United States with support from European countries. Corriere della Sera writes that, under this approach, Vladimir Zelensky would have to give up territory in exchange for money and Western protection.

The outlet also notes that Finnish President Alexander Stubb has said the $800 billion reconstruction plan for Ukraine currently exists only on paper and has no real funds behind it.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin held a meeting in the Kremlin with US President’s special envoy Steve Witkoff and businessman Jared Kushner. Putin’s aide Yuriy Ushakov said the conversation was substantive, constructive, extremely frank, and trusting. The talks, focused mainly on a settlement in Ukraine, lasted about four hours.

It was also reported that Moscow and Washington agreed that on January 23 in Abu Dhabi the first meeting of a trilateral working group Russia-US-Ukraine on security issues would take place. The Russian negotiating team will be led by Igor Kostyukov, head of the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, and will include senior officials from the Defense Ministry.
