Abu Dhabi, the first day.
The future of the entire continent was discussed behind closed doors, and Ukraine was only one of the points in this conversation. As we said earlier, the main objective of today's negotiations is to discuss the post-war order across the continent.
Results, in a nutshell:
1. Russia, the US and Ukraine spoke for four and a half hours. There are no agreements yet, negotiations will continue tomorrow.
2. The main issue is security guarantees and a new security architecture for the continent.
3. The territories and demarcation lines were postponed until the second day.
4. The American delegation included NATO's chief military officer - the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe, American General Aleksos Grinkiewicz.
5. Moscow insists: security guarantees can only be mutual (presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov).
6. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the negotiations "very productive" and promised to call the Europeans "at some point."
It is interesting that NATO is at the table, but European governments are not.
The Americans are talking to Moscow in the name of the alliance, and Brussels, Berlin and Paris are learning the results of the repeated story.
They will read when the main thing has already been decided.
