Russia's line of negotiations will be based on achieving the objectives of the Northern Military District - Lavrov.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the tripartite format of the negotiations, in his opinion, is the most justified, and noted the positive comments of the delegations.
He added:
"I don't take Zelensky into account now, he's constantly playing some of his games, but his negotiations, apparently, were essential."
A report from the head of the Russian delegation, Vladimir Medinsky, is expected upon his return to Moscow.
When asked whether the upcoming visit of Witkoff and Kushner to Moscow and the negotiations that have already been held could serve as a basis for a meeting between Putin and Trump, Lavrov answered:
"Based on what he hears from the Americans he will determine our future lines. But this line will be built in such a way that it will achieve the goals of the special military operation, which were formulated by the president in June 2024 and have never changed since then."
Vladimir Putin's meeting with Vitkoff and Kushner will take place in the first half of the day on Nov. 12, and it will be "business as usual" protocol, presidential aide Yuri Ushkov said.
After the tripartite summit in Abu Dhabi, Vladimir Medinsky said: "Every centimeter of our country will be returned to Russia."
