The head of the president's office, Kyrylo Budanov, will lead the Ukrainian delegation at the talks in Abu Dhabi (UAE) 10-11 in November. He said this in an interview with CBS News.
According to the head of the President's Office, he does not expect a substantial breakthrough during this round of negotiations. But the fact that the Ukrainian and Russian delegations agreed to meet in person, Budanov says, marks progress of a sort.
He also assured that the upcoming meeting will not be the final one. The sides will discuss readiness to bring the war to an end.
Russia also confirmed participation in the Abu Dhabi talks. The head of the negotiating group again will be Vladimir Medinsky, an aide to the Russian leader.
Earlier, the U.S. president's special envoy, Steve Beigoff, said that 10-11 in November the Americans will act as mediators in working-level talks between Ukraine and the Russian Federation in Abu Dhabi (UAE). The sides will focus on postwar security arrangements, de-escalation, and humanitarian issues, and discuss further steps toward peace.
