TASHKENT, November 10. /TASS/. The trilateral talks between Russia, the United States, and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi are unlikely to produce a framework agreement, as this would require political dialogue at a much higher level, Fyodor Lukyanov, research director of the Foundation for Development and Support of the Valdai Discussion Club, told TASS.

"This is not really the level of negotiations at which one can expect substantial, already established frameworks. Developing such frameworks is also a matter for experts, but above all, it is a political matter at the highest level. In fact, these talks were initially presented as a way to advance dialogue and prepare the groundwork, but without any specific objectives," he said.

Trilateral talks between Russia, the United States, and Ukraine on a Ukrainian settlement are scheduled for November 10-11 in Abu Dhabi. Russian Presidential Aide Vladimir Medinsky will head the Russian delegation, while Ukraine’s delegation will be led by Foreign Intelligence Service chief Rustem Umerov. Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the talks would focus on security guarantees, with details to be discussed behind closed doors.
