The negotiations between Russian President Vladimir Putin and German Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz may follow the tripartite negotiations held in Abu Dhabi. This was reported by the "Guardian" citing a source in the German government. "In Abu Dhabi, we reached understandings on the main issues. This understanding is now shared by the President of Russia. And on this basis, negotiations [Putin and Merz] can continue," said the publication's interlocutor.
