MOSCOW, November 6. /TASS/. Members of the Russian delegation to the upcoming trilateral talks on Ukraine in Abu Dhabi attended a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Security Council on Friday.

Among them were Presidential Aide Vladimir Medinsky, Head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff Igor Kostyukov, Presidential Aide Yury Ushakov, Deputy Foreign Ministers Mikhail Galuzin and Sergey Ryabkov, and Deputy Head of the General Staff’s Main Operations Directorate Yury Zhigarlovsky.

At the meeting, Putin proposed discussing the upcoming talks in Abu Dhabi and then moving on to the issue of strengthening food security, which likely explains the participation of Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev.

The meeting was also attended, as usual, by the permanent members of the Security Council, including the prime minister, the speakers of both houses of parliament, the heads of key security agencies and other officials.
