Karasin reveals main topic of trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi

Trilateral talks between Russia, the US, and Ukraine will take place in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, November 10. Russian Senator Grigory Karasin stated that the main topic will be long-term security for Russia and Ukraine after the Ukrainian crisis ends. Karasin said preparations for the talks are being conducted "quite fundamentally," noting that Russian President Vladimir Putin met with the Russian negotiating team beforehand. He cautioned against predicting breakthrough decisions but expects the discussions to be "quite substantive" in nature. The senator expressed hope that "certain shifts, at least in the logic of the participants' behavior, primarily from the Ukrainian side," will be observed. He made these remarks in an exclusive comment to aif.ru.
