Putin aide reveals outcome of trilateral Ukraine talks

Europe needs a new, comprehensive and fair security system that does not come at the expense of individual countries, Russian presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky has said following the second day of talks between Russia, Ukraine, and the US in Abu Dhabi.

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Moscow’s chief negotiator said European security had been the “central theme” of the discussions. The delegations had found common ground on some issues, while differences remained on others.

“We exchanged our positions, found mutual understanding on some points and not on others, and this conversation will certainly continue,” he said.
