Russia and Ukraine still expect planned US-led peace talks to take place this week, even as President Donald Trump’s administration continues a military campaign against Iran.

With airspace in the United Arab Emirates currently closed amid the risk of missile and drone attacks, the talks are unlikely to take place in Abu Dhabi, according to a person in Moscow with knowledge of the situation. Istanbul is one possible alternative venue, the person said, asking not to be identified because the matter is sensitive.
