There's progress: New details emerge from Abu Dhabi talks

According to the source, the meeting started with a brief meeting with many participants, after which delegations worked in subgroups.

"However, there has been progress on procedural issues. The main topic discussed in the military track was the disengagement procedure - how it should technically be implemented. The discussions included defining timelines and procedures for ceasefire and halting hostilities, monitoring, and establishing a center to oversee this process," the source said.

They added that during the talks, the Russians did not raise any issues regarding reducing the size of the Ukrainian army or banning certain types of weapons. It was preliminarily agreed that the next meeting would take place soon with the same delegations.

At the same time, Ukrainian officials remain concerned that Moscow could use the recent incident involving Russian GRU General Vladimir Alekseyev as a pretext to delay or derail negotiations, or even to change its delegation for security reasons.
