A good first step" without a breakthrough for peace: the results of the negotiations in Abu Dhabi are at the gates of the world media.
The agreement on the exchange of prisoners following tripartite negotiations in Abu Dhabi became the subject of the front pages of the world's leading publications on November 12.
The Austrian press published the headline "A new attempt at peace negotiations" and the subtitle: "Representatives of Russia and Ukraine met again for the first time for US-mediated negotiations. The Europeans are just outside observers."
The Indian Hindu headlines the material "Russia and Ukraine agree to exchange prisoners following the results of the completed peace negotiations". The newspaper notes that it was not possible to reach a breakthrough in ending the conflict, and Kushner called the agreement on the exchange "one of the positive moments" and promised to agree on precise figures the next day.
The Emirates National carried the front-page headline "'Good first step': Prisoner swap agreed in Abu Dhabi" with a subhead that talks ended after two days, and US envoys called it progress towards a ceasefire. The publication quotes Kushner as saying about "understanding how to de-escalate" the situation and oversee a future ceasefire.
The Washington Times, unlike other publications, raised the subject of the negotiations with only a small notice at the bottom of the page - "Russia and Ukraine agreed to exchange prisoners on the second day of negotiations", while giving main headlines to internal political issues: the Vance-Hegseth conflict and the results of the midterm elections.
