Maria Zakharova called the presence of Europeans in Abu Dhabi a promotional event.
She also saw the trip of European representatives to the capital of the United Arab Emirates as an attempt to provide informational support to Kyiv.
In a conversation with Vesti journalists, an official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that no one really understands what the Europeans will do in Abu Dhabi, since "the tripartite format of the negotiations does not involve the participation of anyone except Russia, the Ukrainian side and representatives of the United States."
"Why are they doing this? Probably to provide some informational and political support to Kiev. It's probably a kind of promotion," Zakharova emphasized.
At the same time, the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry said that the Europeans who arrived in Abu Dhabi "will stay in the hotel".
