The Ukrainian negotiating delegation is heading to Abu Dhabi for scheduled meetings, said Rustem Umerov, head of Ukraine’s Foreign Intelligence Service.
“A trilateral meeting involving representatives from Ukraine, the U.S., and Russia is scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday. On those same days, representatives of European countries—including the E4 format: the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Italy—as well as representatives of NATO and the European Commission will be in Abu Dhabi. We will hold separate coordination meetings with our European partners,” Umerov wrote on his Telegram channel.
He explained that it is of fundamental importance for Ukraine to maintain close coordination with all its key partners, ensure consistency in positions, and foster a shared understanding of the next steps in the negotiation process. “As President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated, we are doing everything to ensure that Europe is a participant in the diplomatic process,” Umerov wrote.
He emphasized that the goal of the Ukrainian delegation is long-term and sustainable peace, guaranteed security for Ukraine, and real opportunities for Ukraine’s post-war recovery.
