Why It Matters
Tripartite talks are being held in Abu Dhabi with the aim of a new attempt to end the war between Russia and Ukraine.
The Russian TASS news agency reported that Moscow will send two deputy foreign ministers and senior military officials to represent it in the upcoming trilateral talks with the United States and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi.
The delegation includes Deputy Foreign Ministers Sergei Ryabkov and Mikhail Galuzin, along with the head of military intelligence Igor Kostyukov, member of the General Staff Yuri Zhigarlovsky, and Kremlin aide Vladimir Medinsky - who will head the delegation, and who also participated in the negotiations that took place in Istanbul last year.
The members who will participate in the tripartite talks that seek a new attempt to end the war between Russia and Ukraine attended a meeting of the Russian Security Council hosted by President Vladimir Putin, on Friday evening.
Putin told attendees that Moscow is "grateful" to the UAE for its leadership role and support in seeking a solution to end the conflict.
Ukraine has not yet confirmed who will represent it in these talks, while the United States will once again send Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law, and its envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, to represent it.
The talks scheduled for next week are the first of their kind since February. While Trump is holding meetings this weekend on Ukraine, he says he is "working well" with both countries.
