David Arakhamia<\/b>, head of the Servant of the People faction in Ukraine’s Verkhovna Rada, said significant progress had been made during the talks in Abu Dhabi, but declined to disclose details.<\/p>\n

According to him, this was one of the most difficult stages of the negotiations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Russians came with very, very strict directives, and it was very hard to actually soften the discussion. And I see that the way that you structured it through a post-war picture for both countries, I think that opened up a dialogue. And we started to work more productively<\/span>,\u201d<\/i> he said, referring to the US negotiators.<\/p>\n

Arakhamia added that the most important achievement of the round was the agreement on a prisoner exchange.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope that tomorrow the number will be big. I think that it’s already the pre-feeling that it’s going to be a really big exchange, one of the biggest, if not the biggest. And this is an achievement by itself<\/span>,\u201d<\/i> he said.<\/p>\n

He also noted that the Ukrainian side had been sceptical about the prospects of resuming negotiations.<\/p>\n

\u201cSix months ago, we were thinking that, you know, before the spring, we could not resume trilaterals at all. And in Oslo, we were very sceptical. And I was sceptical by the end, too. But now, we’ve resumed them. And moreover, I think that we are working towards the final goal, where it should not be trilateral. It should be multilateral, because Europeans have to sit at the table. Because if we’re talking about European post-war security, Ukraine is part of Europe, and European countries have to sit at the table together with us and discuss what security in Europe will look like. And this is the second achievement that I think we have almost already achieved<\/span>,\u201d<\/i> he said.<\/p>\n

According to Arakhamia, progress has also been made on a number of issues whose details cannot yet be disclosed.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd the third one: I think that there are other issues that we cannot disclose at the moment, but we’ve made really big progress. And I encourage you guys to visit Moscow and then come back to us in Dublin, and then, you know, have a second session and set the date and announce the date for the next session as soon as possible, because I think we have good momentum to bring about a solution before the New Year comes<\/span>,\u201d<\/i> he said.<\/p>\n

Following the talks, US presidential envoy Jared Kushner<\/b> said that he and his colleague Steve Witkoff<\/b> would travel to Moscow and then fly to Dublin, where Volodymyr Zelenskyy<\/b> would be staying, to discuss some of the ideas developed in Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
