US Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the talks between Ukraine, the US and Russia in Abu Dhabi productive, but warned against expecting a quick peace agreement.
This was reported by Sky News, citing a statement Rubio made in Paris.
According to the US Secretary of State, the first day of negotiations was “very productive,” but more time will be needed to reach an agreement.
“Obviously, there’s a lot of work to be done. This is not something that can be resolved in the next 24 hours,” Rubio said.
He also emphasized the need to involve European countries directly in the negotiation process.
“Our goal is to expand the trilateral format so that not only the United States, Ukraine, and Russia, but also the Europeans are represented at the negotiating table,” the Secretary of State noted.
When asked if the Russian delegation was serious about ending the war, Rubio replied: “Well, that’s exactly what we’re checking.”
As a reminder, the first day of talks between Ukraine, the United States, and Russia in Abu Dhabi ended on November 10. The parties discussed security guarantees, the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine, and the future architecture of European security. The meetings will continue on November 11.
