First Trilateral Peace Talks Set for UAE as Ukraine, US, and Russia Prepare to Meet
High-stakes diplomacy begins amid war and unresolved territorial tensions
Overview
Ukraine, the United States, and Russia are preparing for a first-ever trilateral meeting in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced. The talks are scheduled to take place in Abu Dhabi across two days, with discussions expected to focus on the ongoing war in Ukraine, security guarantees, and the contentious Donbas territorial dispute. There is no detailed public agenda yet, and outcomes remain unconfirmed, but the development marks a rare direct diplomatic engagement between the three parties since the war began in 2022.
Key Developments
Zelenskyy confirmed the trilateral talks will be held in Abu Dhabi on January 23–24 at a technical negotiation level with U.S. and Russian delegations.
The discussions are described as the first of their kind in the UAE, with representatives from military and security sectors expected to participate.
While Zelenskyy emphasized that the Donbas issue will be “key” to talks, no official agenda or diplomatic text has been released.
Russia, Ukraine, and U.S. envoys have stated they are willing to talk about territorial modalities and security frameworks, but full agreement remains distant.
Why It Matters
Direct engagement between Kyiv, Washington, and Moscow is rare and represents a significant diplomatic step in efforts to end the war.
The territorial dispute over Donbas is central to the conflict and remains a core sticking point that could determine whether negotiations progress.
No agenda or confirmed outcomes indicate that these talks are exploratory and may or may not yield concrete agreements.
The UAE’s role as host reflects its growing position as a mediator in complex international conflicts.
Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders
Geopolitical conflict — especially one involving major powers — can shift investor confidence and safe-haven demand quickly, influencing currency valuations.
Progress or breakdown in talks could affect risk sentiment, with implications for the U.S. dollar, euro, Russian ruble, and Ukrainian currency stability.
A breakthrough could ease military spending pressures and reduce volatility in energy markets, which historically tie closely to currency flows.
The Global Reset narrative often accelerates when major geopolitical disputes enter substantive diplomacy, even if early meetings produce limited outcomes.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar 1: Geopolitical Realignment
The trilateral talks signal a new phase of direct engagement, potentially reshaping alliances and diplomatic power balances in a world where traditional multilateral systems have struggled to halt conflict.
Pillar 2: Monetary and Risk Sentiment Dynamics
Conflict negotiations involving superpowers can rapidly influence currency reserve behaviors, safe-haven flows, and cross-border capital movement, especially if markets perceive shifts in geopolitical risk profiles.
This is not just a meeting — it’s a structural test of whether diplomacy can alter entrenched conflict dynamics.

BRICS Central Banks Overtake U.S. Treasuries With Gold Holdings
Gold quietly replaces bonds as the world’s preferred reserve anchor
Overview
Foreign central banks — led by BRICS nations — now hold more gold by value than U.S. Treasuries for the first time since 1996, marking a historic shift in global reserve strategy. Accelerated gold accumulation reflects rising concern over dollar exposure, sanctions risk, and long-term fiat credibility, even as Treasuries remain in use for liquidity management.
Key Developments
Central bank gold holdings reached approximately $4 trillion in January 2026, surpassing $3.9 trillion in U.S. Treasury holdings
BRICS nations purchased over 1,000 tonnes of gold since 2022, bringing collective holdings above 6,000 tonnes
Gold prices surged to record highs, nearly doubling in value since 2022
Reserve diversification is driven by geopolitical risk, trade conflict, and sanctions exposure, not yield considerations
U.S. Treasuries remain widely used, but no longer dominate reserve growth trends
Why It Matters
Gold overtaking Treasuries signals a structural shift in how safety is defined
Reserve managers are prioritizing sovereign neutrality over yield
The dollar’s role is being hedged, not abandoned, through parallel reserve strategies
This transition weakens the U.S. advantage of financing deficits through foreign bond demand
Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders
Reserve diversification historically precedes currency realignment
Reduced Treasury reliance increases demand for non-USD settlement currencies
Gold-backed confidence strengthens currencies linked to commodity exporters
Foreign currency holders benefit as multipolar reserve structures emerge
These shifts align directly with Global Reset timing mechanics
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar 1: Reserve Asset Realignment
Gold’s rise above Treasuries reflects a measurable move away from debt-based reserve dominance toward tangible asset anchoring, a core reset mechanism.
Pillar 2: Monetary Sovereignty Defense
By holding gold instead of bonds, central banks reduce exposure to foreign political leverage, reinforcing national control over monetary stability.
This is not speculation — it is institutional repositioning.
When bonds wobble, gold remembers its job
