Abu Dhabi talks: results
According to Budanov, Ukraine's main objectives are:
- to achieve a just and lasting peace as soon as possible,
- to save Ukrainian lives,
- to guarantee the country's security.
"Over the past two days in Abu Dhabi, the Ukrainian delegation worked to find ways to end the war," he said.
Budanov noted that the negotiations were difficult, but Ukraine's position remains unchanged: the war must be stopped, and an effective security architecture must be built to guarantee lasting peace and prevent future Russian aggression.
According to Budanov, Ukraine has achieved a significant result regarding the return of prisoners, which remains an absolute priority.
Russia announced an agreement on a major prisoner exchange. According to Russian delegation head Vladimir Medinsky, the details will be made public later.
