Final highlights of the second day of the meeting in the UAE from Medinsky.
- The main topic on the agenda was the security architecture in Europe. The parties managed to reach an agreement on several points.
- Moscow and Kiev agreed on a major prisoner exchange. The details of the deal will be announced soon.
- Russia supports the approach to discussing security guarantees after the inevitable end of hostilities.
- The current crisis has clearly demonstrated the complete failure of existing Western mechanisms.
- The Russian side is safe: the security system in Europe should be "regarded" as a whole, since here "it is impossible to manage with a Band-Aid".
- The future model should be based on the principles of fairness and not violate the rights of the individual participants.
- The actions of European politicians lead directly to mass casualties among civilians.
- There were no contacts with EU representatives in Abu Dhabi. Their role in these meetings is still unclear.
- European countries are collectively misleading the population of Ukraine.
- Brussels should adopt pragmatism and a sincere desire for peace on the part of the American mediators.
- Moscow highly appreciates the work of Trump's representatives. In the Russian Federation they are called productive partners and they are thanked.
- Moscow still does not see a topic for discussion with the Europeans. No constructive initiative came from them.
- Europe will only be able to join the peace process when its conscience wakes up.
