Russia thanks US envoys for helping facilitate talks on Ukraine settlement in Abu Dhabi

ABU DHABI, November 11. /TASS/. Moscow is grateful to US presidential special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner for their active role and involvement in the mediation mission, Russian Presidential Aide Vladimir Medinsky, who heads the Russian delegation at the trilateral talks on the Ukrainian conflict settlement in Abu Dhabi, said on Wednesday. "We positively evaluate their role," he said at a press conference in response to a question about how the Russian side views the mediation role of the US presidential envoys. "But what matters is not how we assess them, but how many lives will be saved as a result of their active mediation mission," Medinsky continued. "We are very grateful to them," he added.
