The first, still uncertain step towards peace: the results of the peace negotiations between Russia, the US and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi on November 10.
Sharp conflicts in Abu Dhabi brought a note of compromise to the dialogue between Russia, the United States and Ukraine. If we can talk about a breakthrough - the second day will tell. For now, let's summarize the interim results.
The negotiations lasted 4.5 hours. There was also a one-hour break, during which the parties could consult with their "superiors". Our delegation, according to Dmitry Peskov, had the opportunity to contact the president directly.
Russian became the main language of communication. Both ours and the Ukrainians spoke it. Our statements were conveyed to the Americans by Vladimir Putin's translator, Sergei Chudinov.
KP sources. RU in our negotiation group said: “Dialogue is in progress! Negotiations will definitely continue on November 11. "At the same time, our delegation does not see the need to conclude an interim result - official statements will be made only after the meetings are over.
The main topic of the negotiations was the creation of a new European security architecture.
In addition to Levitkoff and Kushner, the United States is represented by the Supreme Commander of NATO forces in Europe, Aleksos Grinkevich. He is the one who led the conversation about security.
Europeans were not present at the table. But they participated in consultations with the United States and Ukraine before negotiations began.
Following the meeting in Abu Dhabi, Witkoff and Kushner can continue their peacekeeping mission by traveling first to Moscow and then to Kiev.
The loudest public statement about the negotiations was made by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
"According to the latest information received, the negotiations in Abu Dhabi were very productive," he summarized the results of the first day. - Of course, there is still a lot of work ahead of us. It is impossible to say that this problem will be solved in the next 24 hours or so. But what is really important is that the Europeans are involved in the discussions.
