In Abu Dhabi, Russia refused to discuss a ceasefire with Ukraine due to the lack of a "mandate".
An informed source reported this to RBC-Ukraine.
According to him, during the second day of negotiations in Abu Dhabi, the Russian delegation refused to discuss territorial issues, ceasefire, energy and security in the Black Sea with Ukrainian representatives.
Another RBC-Ukraine interlocutor noted that the focus of the negotiations shifted to strategic issues of Europe's future security architecture.
Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the issue of a possible energy and maritime ceasefire was raised at the meeting in Abu Dhabi, but the Russian delegation claimed that it did not have a mandate to discuss this issue.
"Nevertheless, we agreed that the American side will meet with the Russian leader, and all these questions will be raised there, so I expect, at the very least, to get an answer," he noted.
