On the 11th, the United States, Russia, and Ukraine concluded two days of working-level talks aimed at ending Russia's invasion of Ukraine. TASS reported. The second day of talks, held in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), lasted about an hour and a half. Although progress has been made in the prisoner exchange, it appears that the rift between the two sides over territorial issues such as the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine has not been bridged.

Kushner, a member of the U.S. delegation and President Trump's son-in-law, announced that after the talks, he will visit Moscow with special envoy for the Middle East Whitkoff on the 12th and meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Afterwards, he will meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in Ireland.

On the 10th, Politico, a US political media outlet, quoted US officials as saying that both Russia and Ukraine were willing to show "some degree of flexibility" on the territorial issue, but Kushner emphasized that the territorial issue was "the most difficult".

Russian presidential aide Medinsky, who led the Russian delegation, explained at a press conference that they discussed ``Europe's security architecture.'' He said that a certain degree of mutual understanding had been reached, but in terms of territory, he insisted that ``Russia will take back all of Russia's land.'' He maintained his strong stance.

Medinsky said Russia and Ukraine have agreed to a major prisoner exchange and will announce details soon. He also expressed the view that trilateral talks involving the United States will continue.

On the 10th, Zelenskyy criticized Russia for overstating the area of ​​occupied territory in the Donbas region during the negotiations. Russia appears to be trying to gain more territory by pushing the ceasefire line.

Maintaining perception of China as the “biggest challenge” Government adjustment to new security strategy – defense capabilities

In its National Security Strategy, which will be revised by the end of this year, the Japanese government is making adjustments to maintain its current recognition of China as the country's ``biggest strategic challenge.'' The decision to refrain from using the same "threat" language as North Korea appears to have been made in consideration of the cooling of Japan-China relations and the stabilization of U.S.-China relations.
