We have agreed on new large-scale prisoner exchange, - Medinsky said regarding results of talks in Abu Dhabi
The humanitarian issue was raised during the trilateral talks between Ukraine, the U.S., and Russia in Abu Dhabi. In particular, the participants agreed on a new large-scale prisoner swap.
This was stated by the head of the Russian delegation, Kremlin adviser Vladimir Medinsky, according to Censor.NET.
A new large-scale prisoner swap and the role of the U.S.
According to him, Russia is grateful to Witkoff and Kushner for their participation in the negotiations, and Europe "would do well to learn from the American envoys in their desire to achieve peace."
Criticism of Europe and security issues
"European countries may become participants in peace talks on Ukraine once their conscience awakens," he says.
Medinsky also noted that the issue of security architecture was a central topic of the talks in Abu Dhabi.
In particular, he described the question of a continental security system following the end of the war in Ukraine as being correctly framed.
"The conflict in Ukraine (as the Russian Federation calls the war—Ed.) has shown that the security system in Europe is functioning very poorly," the head of the Russian delegation asserts.
He also noted that specific details of the negotiation process are not being discussed until final agreements are reached.
- Earlier, Zelenskyy announced a possible prisoner swap of "1,000 for 1,000" or "1,500 for 1,500" following talks in the UAE.
