A source in the Russian delegation said that the main focus of the trilateral talks between the United States, Russia and Ukraine that are expected to be held on the 10th in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, will be to try to finalize key elements of Europe’s new post-war security architecture.

According to a Reuters report, U.S. President Trump predicted on the 5th that a "very significant" agreement would be reached with Russia, which would not only involve Ukraine, but also "all of Europe." U.S. Secretary of State Rubio also pointed out on the 8th that some progress has been made on what kind of security architecture Ukraine and Europe may establish after the Russia-Ukraine conflict ends. He added that the trilateral talks between the United States, Russia and Ukraine may further promote breakthroughs on related issues.

Sources from the Russian delegation pointed out that the meeting will focus on formulating mechanisms related to the security framework to prevent various threats and strengthen regional stability. The source said that "the resolution of the Ukrainian issue is crucial, but it is only part of this broader discussion. The core goal of the negotiations is to establish a comprehensive and indivisible security architecture for the entire European continent."

Representatives from France, Britain, Germany, the European Union, NATO and Italy are also expected to travel to Abu Dhabi for talks with U.S. and Ukrainian officials. But Russia has not yet said whether it will hold any direct talks with Europe this week.

The 11-member Russian delegation was led by Kremlin assistant Vladimir Medinsky and also included two deputy foreign ministers and a number of senior officials from the military and intelligence agencies.
