00:00I'm here at the venue of the peace talks in the UAE where we understand that the delegations are
00:05meeting just a couple of rooms away. They're now into their second day of negotiations. Much of
00:11this process remains shrouded in secrecy. Even we did not know where we were heading until we
00:16arrived here and now it's just a waiting game. Security, as you expect, is tight and that
00:22reflects just how delicate these talks are. Bringing Russian, Ukrainian and American negotiators
00:27together in one building has taken months and months of diplomacy and these are the
00:31first talks of their kind since February. From Kiev, President Zelensky described the opening
00:37session as constructive, saying it covered both humanitarian and security issues. For
00:43Ukraine, the stakes could not be higher. Even as negotiators sit down here, Russia is ramping
00:50up attacks on the country's energy infrastructure. Ukraine's foreign minister says he has urged
00:55Washington to speed up delivery of air defense interceptors. For now, the doors to the negotiations
01:01stay closed and the world waits to see what comes out of that room.
