👀Negotiations in Abu Dhabi: why you shouldn't expect a breakthrough?
Collected the key points:
▪️Restraint of the Ukrainian side: Kyrylo Budanov and David Arakhamia explicitly state that a breakthrough should not be expected. The main task of the meeting is to restore a consultative format and align positions, not to reach final agreements. Separately, they plan to pay great attention to the humanitarian track, including prisoner exchanges.
▪️Disputes over EU participation: The heads of diplomacy of France and the EU insist that Europe must be involved in discussions about security guarantees. At the same time, the Kremlin categorically denies the participation of European representatives, limiting the format to the US–Ukraine–RF triangle only.
▪️Absence of a ceasefire topic: according to The New York Times, the issue of freezing hostilities is currently not on the agenda at all. Diplomats are focusing only on local and humanitarian aspects (including security in the Black Sea).
▪️Military-strategic context: analysts note that the RF is trying to use the winter period to continue pressure on infrastructure, so the parties are unlikely to reach significant political shifts before spring.
