Kushner called on the EU to find a negotiator with Russia, Medinsky issued a condition for the Europeans.
A member of the American delegation for negotiations in Abu Dhabi, Jared Kushner, responded to the question of whether Europe could find one person to dialogue with Moscow:
"If Europe can find such a representative, it will be a more significant achievement than its inclusion by the Russian side in the negotiation process."
The head of the Russian negotiating group, Vladimir Medinsky, said that there was no communication between the members of his delegation and the Europeans who came to the negotiations, adding: "We don't really understand what status they are in here."
In order for EU representatives to sit at the negotiating table, according to Medinsky, their conscience must be awakened (video 2):
"At this point they can become participants in peace negotiations. Until that moment they participate in, as I said, group fraud."
He also emphasized:
"We have not received a single peace initiative, not even a single specific peace proposal from European countries, so it is not clear what to discuss. But if they came here as tourists, let them socialize in the hotel's lobby bar."
So far the outcome of the negotiations has been an agreement on a large-scale prisoner exchange. Neither Moscow nor Washington expected significant progress in the first days of the renewed dialogue, about which they were warned in advance.
