Trilateral talks between the United States, Russia and Ukraine come to an end. Russian representative: There is consensus on some issues

The United States, Russia, and Ukraine concluded their two-day tripartite talks in Abu Dhabi today (11th). Russian negotiators said after the meeting that some progress had been made on some issues, but no consensus had been reached on other aspects, and further negotiations were expected to be held in the future.

"Reuters" reported that Russian negotiator Vladimir Medinsky pointed out in a conversation broadcast on state-owned television that during the two-day talks, Europe's possible future security architecture has been the subject of negotiations.

Medinsky said: "We have exchanged views with the United States on this; in some aspects we agree, in other aspects we do not. This discussion will of course continue. The world needs a new, modern and up-to-date security system, a system that is fair and does not put any particular country at a disadvantage."

Medinsky was cool about the prospect of European countries joining future negotiations, pointing out that it was unclear what Russia and the EU could talk about due to a lack of proposals from Europe.

He said: "We have never received a single peace initiative or any specific peace proposal from European countries, so it is not clear what there is to talk about. When they come up with concrete proposals, we will consider them. As things stand, I think they should learn from the American envoys, for example in terms of common sense, pragmatism and the willingness to pursue peace."

Medinsky added that Russia and Ukraine agreed to a large-scale exchange of prisoners of war during the talks, and relevant details will be announced soon.
