Lavrov said that the first point in the negotiations in Abu Dhabi will be the security issues of the Russian Federation and Ukraine.
The first item on the agenda of the tripartite negotiations between Russia and the United States and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi is expected to discuss security issues of Russia, Ukraine and the entire region, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.
"The very agenda of the negotiations in Abu Dhabi assumes that the first item is the security of Russia, Ukraine and security in this region in general," Lavrov said at a press conference on Monday.
"We only welcome this approach," added the Russian Foreign Minister.
According to Lavrov, "the fact that the current negotiators, on behalf of US President Donald Trump, proposed to bring the issue of collective security to the top of the agenda of the negotiations on the Ukrainian settlement - of course, this can only be welcomed."
A tripartite Russia-US Ukraine meeting is planned in Abu Dhabi (UAE) on November 10-11.
