The negotiations in Abu Dhabi have ended for today. What is known?
The first day of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, mediated by the United States, ended in the capital of the United Arab Emirates. This is the first negotiation between Moscow and Kyiv in 8 months.
The negotiations lasted 4.5 hours with a 40 minute break.
A source for "Ukrainian Pravda", close to the Ukrainian delegation, said that the parties agreed to conduct "a large-scale prisoner exchange in the near future".
As Reuters wrote, citing a source in the Russian delegation, Russia is going to make the agreement on the post-war security system in Europe the main topic of discussion in tripartite negotiations.
Representatives of European countries, as well as representatives from NATO and the European Union, were present in Abu Dhabi, but they did not sit directly at the negotiating table.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is currently in Paris, called the talks in Abu Dhabi "very productive" and advocated the involvement of European negotiators in future discussions "because they are part of the solution to this problem."
Negotiations will continue on Wednesday, November 11.
