Following the results of the tripartite negotiations in Abu Dhabi, which lasted about four and a half hours, the head of the Russian delegation, Vladimir Medinsky, said that the conflict in Ukraine shows the complete failure of the old security system that developed after World War II.
Medinsky noted that "the whole body is sick, but in Ukraine an abscess just broke out." He recalled that Russia raised these issues back in 2008 and 2021, but then the initiatives were ignored.
"We agreed in principle on a large-scale exchange of new prisoners. Specific parameters will be published soon.
- said the head of the Russian delegation.
Medinsky also highly praised the contribution of the Donald Trump administration's emissaries, calling them honest and efficient people who focus on results, not empty talk. What matters, he says, is not how they are judged, but how many lives will be saved as a result of their active mediating mission.
At the same time, the presidential aide said that the Russian delegation has not communicated with the representatives of the European Union and does not understand their position. He pointed out that the leadership of several European countries is engaged in group fraud of the Ukrainian people, in financing and supplying weapons to one of the parties, which contributes to the mass death of citizens. Since there were no peace initiatives from European countries, Medinsky came to the conclusion that there was nothing to discuss with them.
The countries agreed to continue consultations in the near future to detail the agreements reached and develop a road map for updating the global security system.
