The Kremlin approved the format of the negotiations in Abu Dhabi and referred to Trump's statement about a possible change in Ukraine's borders.
The press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said that the negotiations will take place with the participation of Russia, Ukraine and the United States, but without representatives of European countries.
"The negotiations in Abu Dhabi will take place between Russia and Ukraine, mediated by the United States.
- said Paskov.
Separately, the representative of the Kremlin referred to the words of Donald Trump that after a possible peace agreement, Ukraine may find itself "in a slightly different form."
"As for the shape of Ukraine, from the point of view of geography it is already a different country, but the reality on the ground is clear."
– emphasized Paskov.
Therefore, Moscow confirms the format of the negotiations without the participation of Europe and again focuses on the territorial issue, which remains one of the main disagreements between Russia and Ukraine.
