Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says a delegation has discussed with its Russian and US counterparts in Abu Dhabi a range of important issues necessary to end the conflict in his country.
The first trilateral negotiations on a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia took place in the capital of the United Arab Emirates on Friday and Saturday.
Zelenskyy on Monday posted online an image of him being briefed by the Ukrainian delegation on the outcome of the meeting.
Zelenskyy wrote on social media that the talks in Abu Dhabi covered a range of important issues, primarily military ones, that are necessary to end the war. He added that the envoys also discussed complex political issues that remain unsolved.
Zelenskyy noted that Ukraine is preparing for the next round of trilateral talks.
Zelenskyy said in a video address: "Preliminary discussions indicated that the teams would meet again on Sunday. It would be good if this meeting could be moved up."
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Monday that he cannot assess the talks at this stage. He said it is wrong to expect great results from the first contact, as it is a very complex issue. He added that it is positive that the talks began in a constructive manner.
A Russian diplomatic source told NHK that it would have been difficult for Russia and Ukraine alone to hold such negotiations. The source said it is significant that the US played a major role in the talks.
