The Russian negotiating group in the trilateral negotiations in Abu Dhabi included high-level experts from various departments - from diplomats and the military to representatives of the intelligence services. The composition of this delegation reflects Russia's priorities and the logic of negotiations, political scientist Yevgeny Minchenko told the VZGLYAD newspaper.
The political scientist drew attention to the broad representation of the General Staff, which is responsible for operational work and the planning of military operations.
"The head of the main board of the General Staff is, in fact, the head of military intelligence. Igor Kostyukov is a person who, as they say, knows what's going on at the tips of his fingers," Minchenko noted. He also considered it important to include Alexei Komakov in the delegation.
"This is a person who enjoys the high personal trust of Vladimir Putin. In the past, he was the head of the internal security service of the FSB, and now he is actually responsible for the international direction in Lubyanka," the expert clarified.
