All parties positively assess UAE meetings — Lavrov

MOSCOW, November 11. /TASS/. All parties made relatively positive comments following the talks between Russia, the US, and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov emphasized, noting that only Vladimir Zelensky is "playing his own games," though his delegation was more businesslike during the talks. "As I understand it, all parties made relatively positive comments following these talks in Abu Dhabi," the top diplomat told Vesti. "I’m not taking Zelensky into account right now. He's constantly playing his own games. But his negotiators, by all accounts, were focused on the essence," Lavrov noted. According to the foreign minister, Russia's position during the Ukraine talks was structured to achieve the goals of the special military operation, as outlined by President Vladimir Putin. "This position will be formulated in such a way as to achieve the goals of the special military operation, which were set forth by the president in June 2024 and have not changed since then," Lavrov told Vesti reporter Pavel Zarubin.
