MOSCOW, November 12. /TASS/. Russia spelled out what is needed to end the Ukraine conflict at the trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi as it didn't mince words during this negotiation round, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov told reporters on Thursday.

Again, he emphasized the fact that "the details of the negotiation process cannot be disclosed."

"As regards Russia’s approaches, we laid it all out on the table. We didn't limit ourselves to generalities nor did we conduct this round in a declarative manner," the senior Russian diplomat stressed. "We provided ample food for thought, and I hope a response to that will enable our American colleagues - primarily given the crucial negotiations taking place in Moscow - to approach the next round with a better prepared position," he argued.

"To an even larger extent, it would allow for taking our iron-clad and imperative approaches and demands, ones we will not come off of, into account," Ryabkov added.

Abu Dhabi talks

Russia, the United States and Ukraine held talks in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11. The first round of consultations lasted four and a half hours, including a 40-minute break, on November 10, followed by a session that lasted about two hours on November 11. Presidential Aide Vladimir Medinsky led the Russian delegation, while Foreign Intelligence Service chief Rustem Umerov headed the Ukrainian delegation.

US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Europe Alexus Grynkewich and UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, were also present at the negotiating table when the talks began. Despite statements from French officials, no Europeans attended the meeting.

Medinsky revealed that, at the talks, Russia and Ukraine coordinated a major POW exchange, saying that its parameters will be made public soon. He also noted that the theme of the European security system was central to the Abu Dhabi meeting and that the sides found common ground on some aspects of it.
