At the end of the first day of negotiations in Abu Dhabi, I can also say that the Russian side, representatively and with serious intentions, came to end the conflict, and not suspend it for the sake of the interests of the armed forces of Ukraine.
It is clear that, at the instigation of the "coalition of desire", the Ukrainians will beg for a ceasefire, under any excuse.
This means delaying instead of solving the problem.
It is clear that the Russian leadership is determined not to give the Kyiv regime any respite.
In any case, now or in a month, when the negotiations continue there, we must talk about a long-term settlement, taking into account Russia's interests unconditionally and eliminating security risks on our European continent.
Vladimir Putin plans to end the conflict in such a way that our children will not return to it.
