Russia is expanding its delegation at talks with Ukraine, which may indicate Moscow's willingness to engage in more serious discussions about ending the war, Bloomberg reported. Moscow is sending more senior representatives to the talks in Abu Dhabi than in previous rounds. This could signal the Kremlin's willingness to engage in more meaningful dialogue after months of diplomatic paralysis. The strengthening of the delegation is mainly due to the participation of Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Rybkov, who oversees relations with the United States, and General Staff representative Yuriy Zagarlovsky, who is responsible for military planning. Both will join the negotiating team for the first time. In addition to Rybkov and Zagarlovsky, the Russian delegation will be led by Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Glozin and head of military intelligence Igor Kostkov, who participated in previous rounds of talks.
