The delegation for the Abu Dhabi talks, which will take place 10–11 in November, will include Kyrylo Budanov, head of the president's office. He said this in an interview with Aidan Stratch of CBS News.
Budanov said he does not expect a breakthrough at the talks, but the fact that the sides will meet face to face for the first time in several months already constitutes progress.
“These talks are not the last, they are not final. Everything we will discuss is to achieve readiness to end the ongoing war. What will we achieve? I will refrain from answering. We will see in a few days,” Budanov said.
He also added that the military experience of negotiators on both sides could help them find common ground and make progress on specific technical aspects of a possible ceasefire.
Dmytro Lytvyn, the president of Ukraine's adviser on communications, noted that all participants in the group are currently preparing for the negotiations, and on Friday there were many preparatory conversations about it. The Russian delegation at the trilateral talks among the United States, Ukraine, and the Russian Federation in Abu Dhabi will be led by Vladimir Medinsky.
As a reminder, the previous round of negotiations mediated by the United States took place in February, after which the diplomatic process paused for several months. Read more about the new round of negotiations in the ZN.UA material.
