Russia to send senior diplomats, military officials to upcoming peace talks in Abu Dhabi
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, who oversees Russia's relations with the United States and arms control issues, will join the negotiations for the first time.
Russia has announced that senior diplomats and military officials will attend upcoming peace talks in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11, according to the Kyiv Independent. The Russian delegation, led by presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky, will include Deputy Foreign Ministers Sergei Ryabkov and Mikhail Galuzin, military intelligence chief Igor Kostyukov, and senior General Staff officer Yury Zhigarlovsky.
This expanded delegation could indicate Russia's willingness to engage in more substantive discussions covering both political and military issues. Ukraine's delegation, led by Rustem Umerov, head of the Foreign Intelligence Service, will also attend. The trilateral U.S.-mediated negotiations mark the first round of talks between Ukraine and Russia since February, occurring amid ongoing Russian missile and drone strikes against Ukrainian cities and energy infrastructure.
