The Russian foreign minister added that Vladimir Zelensky’s actions are not contributing to efforts to resolve the conflict

ATLANTA /United States/, October 31. /TASS/. It is unclear what Ukraine’s delegation will bring to the negotiating table in Abu Dhabi, but Vladimir Zelensky’s actions are not contributing to efforts to resolve the conflict, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said at a press conference following the first day of the G20 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in Atlanta.

"I don’t know what Ukrainians plan to bring to the negotiating table," he said, commenting on the potential agenda for a Russia-US-Ukraine meeting in Abu Dhabi.

"Zelensky keeps boasting about receiving more and more long-range missiles and announcing plans to attack Russia, including as far as Siberia. Such an attitude does little to help prepare for negotiations," Lavrov added.

Russian Presidential Aide Yury Ushakov told reporters earlier that the dates for a Russia-US-Ukraine meeting in Abu Dhabi might be announced before the end of the week.
