This statement indicates an optimistic tone from the Russian delegation regarding the negotiations' outcomes. However, the Kremlin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, simultaneously emphasized that the war continues and 'will go on until the necessary decisions are made by Kyiv.' These talks represent a rare high-level diplomatic engagement since the full-scale invasion began nearly two years ago.

Outlook for the Negotiations

While the Abu Dhabi discussions demonstrate some advancement in seeking a peaceful resolution, the situation remains complex and requires further dialogue. The involvement of the United States in these talks could influence the positions of the parties and marks a significant phase in the conflict settlement process. Nevertheless, despite positive statements, tangible progress hinges on the willingness of all participants to compromise and make concrete decisions that could lead to an end to the war.
