The President of Ukraine plans to meet with them in Dublin.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expects that U.S. Special Envoys Steve Whitcroft and Jared Kushner will, following their meeting with Putin, convey to Ukraine Russia’s response to the questions raised during the talks in Abu Dhabi.
The president plans to meet with them in Dublin, where he arrived for the European Political Community summit. Zelenskyy announced this on Wednesday, November 11, during a joint press conference with Irish Prime Minister Mícol Martin, according to New Voice.
First and foremost, Kyiv is awaiting Moscow’s response regarding a prisoner exchange. According to the president, the parties discussed a “1,000 for 1,000” format—“maybe it will work out to 1,200.” “I see no reason why Russia should refuse, but anything can happen,” he noted.
The second issue is security guarantees. Zelenskyy said that several formats for security guarantees for Ukraine were discussed in Abu Dhabi, and this time the delegations delved into the details more thoroughly than before. The possibility of a trilateral meeting of leaders was discussed separately, since, according to the president, the negotiators do not have a mandate to resolve territorial and other issues.
Ukraine also raised the issue of a ceasefire—in the energy sector, at sea, and regarding critical infrastructure. However, as Zelenskyy reported, the Russian delegation stated that it did not have a mandate to respond. Therefore, the parties agreed that the Americans would raise these issues during their meeting with Putin.
The president also highlighted what he called an important decision: Europe must be at the negotiating table. He noted that the U.S. side has become more receptive to this idea and expressed hope that next time, Europe will participate in the negotiations as an equal partner, rather than merely on the sidelines of the meeting.
