Putin sends Medinsky, Ryabkov and military intelligence chief to Abu Dhabi
Russian President Vladimir Putin's aide Vladimir Medinsky will again lead Russia's delegation at trilateral talks with the United States and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi next week. The delegation will include senior General Staff officials and diplomats, including Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov for the first time, Reuters reported on Saturday, Nov. 7, citing Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has sent his aide Vladimir Medinsky, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, and military intelligence chief Igor Kostyukov to Abu Dhabi for trilateral talks with the United States and Ukraine. This delegation will include senior General Staff officials, including Deputy General Staff Yuri Zhigarlovsky, for the first time since February.
The talks are scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday, November 10-11, marking the first meeting of this format since February. Ryabkov oversees Russia's relations with North and South America, along with arms control, nonproliferation, and issues concerning Iran's nuclear program. The delegation's focus will be on Ukraine's future security architecture, as Ukraine remains firm on not making territorial concessions.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has emphasized this as a "red line" that can only be discussed by the countries' leaders. The last U.S.-mediated talks occurred in February, prior to the U.S. and Israel's war against Iran.
