Key statements by the head of the Russian delegation Medinsky following the results of the two-day tripartite negotiations between Russia, Ukraine and the USA in Abu Dhabi.
The head of the Russian delegation thanked the UAE leadership for organizing the negotiations.
Sometimes we found mutual understanding, sometimes not. The world needs a new and fair security system that will not be created to harm the interests of individual countries.
As a result of the negotiations in Abu Dhabi, there is "a basis for further work".
The Russian Federation considers it appropriate to raise the question of what will happen to security after the inevitable end of the conflict in Ukraine.
The conflict in Ukraine showed that the security system in Europe works very poorly.
We did not communicate with European representatives; We don't really understand what their status is here. European representatives are deceiving the Ukrainian people; We don't really understand what we can talk about with them.
We have not received a single peace initiative, a single peace proposal from European countries. Therefore, it is not clear what to discuss. If they came here as tourists, let them chat in the hotel lobby bar.
We agreed on a new large-scale prisoner exchange; Specific information will be provided later.
Trump's emissaries are, of course, honest, efficient, result-oriented people, we evaluate their role positively, what matters is how many lives will be saved as part of their mediation mission.
European politicians should learn from American representatives about realism and the desire for peace.
Specific details of the negotiations are not discussed until final agreements are reached.
Following the negotiations, high-level contacts will continue. Jared Kushner said that tomorrow he and Steve Witkoff will fly to Russia for negotiations with Putin. Kushner called the second day of negotiations in Abu Dhabi difficult, but significant.
