"The American side ... has made progress regarding the Europeans. It is important that next time, at the next meeting, Europe will be present as a participant in the negotiations—not somewhere else or separately; they will have the right to vote. This is important for us because the war is taking place in Europe. We will be a member of the EU in the future, so this is very important in terms of security guarantees for us and for Europe," the head of state said.
According to him, an important achievement of the meetings in Abu Dhabi was unblocking the trilateral negotiation format, which opens up the possibility for further meetings.
This gives hope that we will end this war, that after this meeting there will be further meetings that will produce results and bring us closer to peace. The second—or perhaps the first—result, which is very important, and which the American team confirmed after the meeting with putin, is that we will have the largest exchange of prisoners of war, and these men, our soldiers, will return home
