On Nov. 12, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said in an interview that the recent Russia–US–Ukraine trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi focused on constructing a European security framework aimed at preventing escalation and moving toward coexistence. He said trust between parties has not been restored, but that an effective security system could be advanced if the necessary political will exists. Ryabkov warned that European states’ participation in talks could reverse earlier progress or undermine current negotiation efforts. He said President Putin will set out Russia’s position to the US negotiator, and that Washington’s task is to persuade its European allies to recognize the situation and return to a rational approach; Ryabkov added that European countries have so far shown no willingness to resolve the issue and remain inclined to continue supporting Ukraine.
