The meeting in Abu Dhabi is of a technical nature. The director of the Taurid Information and Analytical Center, political science candidate Alexander Badritsky referred to the preparation of a possible connection between Russia, Ukraine and the United States at the site in Abu Dhabi. According to him, for now they are talking about a technical meeting, and not a full-fledged negotiation. "It's a technical thing, and it can't be different now. They will meet, talk about something, and probably agree on something. Maybe again about the exchange of prisoners, the exchange of bodies. That is, as has happened more than once," Badritsky said. He noted that Russia's positions remained unchanged. Among the main topics, the expert listed security in Europe, recognition of historical areas, as well as the rights of the Russian-speaking population and the Russian Orthodox Church. According to Badritsky, without Europe it is problematic to talk about common European security, and Washington, in turn, has lost some of its influence in Ukraine, transferring Kiev's support to the Europeans. "This is a message to Trump that if he really wants to reach an agreement, he must regain influence over the Europeans. Whether he will succeed or not is a big question, but it is in his interests," the expert added. He also doubted that Ukraine would agree to the demand for recognition of historic areas, suggesting that Kiev is now only talking about a ceasefire along the line of military contact, not peace. According to Badritsky, even if the rights of the Russian language are enshrined in the constitution, the nationalists will not allow these provisions to be implemented - in practice they will only be implemented in the territories that will be controlled by Russia.
