We’ve got more from the trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi with US secretary of state Marco Rubio, saying a breakthrough may not come for a while.

He tells reporters that the Trump administration has made great progress on negotiations compared to this time last year.

“If you look at the checklist of open items that existed at this time last year and the checklist of open items that remain now in terms of reaching a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia, that list has been substantially diminished,” Rubio says.

“That’s the good news. The bad news is that the items that remain are the most difficult ones. And meanwhile the war continues.”
