The Kremlin is not yet naming the members of the Russian delegation for the upcoming trilateral talks on the Ukrainian settlement in Abu Dhabi. When journalists asked when the names of all participants from the Russian side would become known, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov replied: «In due time».

The level of the meeting and how the delegation will be formed

Earlier, aide to the President of Russia Yuri Ushakov said that the talks between Russia, the United States and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi are planned to be held at the expert level. According to him, the composition of the Russian delegation will be determined by Vladimir Putin, and the parties view the upcoming meeting as another stage in the discussion of the Ukrainian settlement.

What is known and what remains unknown

Thus, at this point the format of the meeting (expert level) and the procedure for forming the delegation have been confirmed, but not its personal composition. No timeline for revealing the names has been given — the Kremlin limited itself to promising to do so «in due time». The publications provide no detailed information about the agenda or dates.
