Deliberations between the Ukrainian and Russian delegations in Abu Dhabi, the UAE’s capital, involved “face-to-face engagement” between functionaries from the two nations.
This information comes from Sky News, referencing a declaration by an Emirates government spokesperson.
“This could suggest the Russian and Ukrainian delegates occupied the same space, rather than US [officials] shuttling between them, yet this declaration remains unconfirmed,” the report elaborated.
The news source specified that concrete information concerning the conversations held on January 23-24 remains scarce.
The Emirates governmental figure simply pointed out that they unfolded in a “productive and favorable environment.”
“They [negotiators] centered on the ‘outstanding aspects’ of the US-sponsored peace accord,” articulated a UAE government speaker, alluding to the strategy initially crafted by the US and Russia, and subsequently amended by the US and Europe.
As a point of note, three-way conversations featuring delegations from Ukraine, Russia, and the United States wrapped up in Abu Dhabi. The subsequent session could occur as soon as the coming week.
