It is a great honor for me to be here today and convey to you the warmest wishes of our President. First of all, I want to express my gratitude to President Trump for the honor given to us, and to Presidents Putin and Zelensky for the courage they have shown, the trust in the United Arab Emirates and the friendly attitude you are showing today.
We in the UAE welcome the opportunity to gather here friends who, we hope, are determined and willing to focus on a peaceful and diplomatic solution to the conflict. The US, present here today, has become a reliable ally for all of us."
The negotiations began in Abu Dhabi with the participation of delegations from Russia, the United States and Ukraine.
