Moscow, The Europe Today: Moscow expects the next round of trilateral talks between Russia, the United States and Ukraine to take place soon, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a briefing on November 13.
“We believe that it will take place soon enough,” Peskov said when asked about the talks.
“This is exactly what was discussed with the US negotiators, so we hope that the process will continue in the foreseeable future,” he added.
Russia, the United States and Ukraine held talks in Abu Dhabi on November 10. Presidential Aide Vladimir Medinsky led the Russian delegation. The Ukrainian delegation was headed by Rustem Umerov, whom TASS identified as chief of the Foreign Intelligence Service.
When the talks began, the negotiating table also included US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Europe General Alexus Grynkewich, and UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan. TASS reported that European representatives did not attend, despite claims by French officials.
Medinsky said Russia and Ukraine agreed during the talks on a large-scale prisoner exchange, and that details would be made public soon. He said Eurasian security was at the centre of the Abu Dhabi meeting and that the parties found common ground on some aspects.
