🎙 Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's answers to questions from the programme “Moscow. Kremlin. Putin” (Moscow, November 11, 2026) ❓ Question: How do you assess the trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi? 💬 Sergey Lavrov: In this case, the trilateral format makes the most sense. As I understand it, the comments from all sides following the talks in Abu Dhabi were, overall, positive. I’m leaving Zelensky out of this. He’s always playing his own games. The negotiators themselves, though, seem to have been ready to get down to business. We’ll hear what Vladimir Medinskiy has to say when he returns with his delegation. ❓ Question: The Americans say they are coming to Moscow. A possible meeting between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump in China is just days away. Could the talks that have just concluded help lay the groundwork for discussions between the two Presidents? 💬 Sergey Lavrov: My understanding is that, as announced, the American negotiators are coming to Moscow to brief President Vladimir Putin. He will, of course, also receive a report from Vladimir Medinskiy’s delegation, as he regularly does. The President will decide how we proceed based on what he hears from the Americans. The course we take will be geared towards achieving the objectives of the special military operation. The President set out those objectives in June 2024, and they have remained unchanged ever since.
