❗️Key takeaways from Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov’s commentary to the RT TV channel: • The results of the #AbuDhabi talks show that something functional can be built, avoiding any escalation • The latest round of trilateral talks on #Ukraine differed from the previous ones because Moscow focused on specific security issues • President Vladimir #Putin will convey Russia’s position to US negotiators, while the US will then have to bring its proteges in Europe to their senses • The sides made undeniable progress following the Abu Dhabi #talks, but it is important to avoid setbacks and collapses • There is a serious gap between the #US and #EU approaches, so European involvement in Ukraine talks could undermine useful efforts • #Europe has a negative attitude towards US proposals on the Ukraine settlement • The presence of the #NATO commander at the Abu Dhabi talks added professionalism to discussions about security in Europe
