The first trilateral talks between Ukraine, Russia and the United States concluded in Abu Dhabi on Saturday, as all sides struck an optimistic tone following two days of discussions.

Cleveland is facing a shortage of road salt as the massive winter storm approaches, officials say, and the city will have to prioritize which streets receive salt treatments. “In the past, we would try to use salt in the residential areas to get down the pavement,” John Laird, Cleveland’s director of Public Works, said at a news conference Friday.
