Day 1,718.
Today, as the talks in Abu Dhabi wrap up after a second session that lasted just 2 hours, US negotiators Kushner and Witkoff take off to Moscow. Meanwhile Russia continues its deadly attacks on Ukraine, Kyiv residents face water cuts and power outages for over 15 hours, and two missiles enter the Moldovan airspace. We catch up with James Kilner for on the latest cucumber index and we hear what it’s like to be inside the negotiating room facing the Russian delegation.
