[Regnum] Jared Kushner, special envoy to the United States and son-in-law of the US President, called the trilateral talks on the Ukrainian conflict held in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, constructive. He wrote this on his social media page on November 10.

"We are encouraged by today's constructive talks. At the direction of President Donald Trump, we are working to end this destructive conflict," Kushner said.

He also added that security mechanisms necessary to ensure Ukraine's sovereignty and security, as well as stable peace throughout Europe, are being developed.

Earlier, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi productive, but noted that much work remains. According to Rubio, one of the US goals is to expand trilateral cooperation and, at some point, include Europe in the negotiation process.

The first day of negotiations in Abu Dhabi has concluded. The meeting lasted approximately four hours. Negotiations will continue on Wednesday, November 11. The meeting between representatives of Russia, the United States, and Ukraine was held behind closed doors, and European representatives did not participate.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov noted that the Europeans who arrived in Abu Dhabi for talks between Russia, the United States, and Ukraine will " stay in the hotel."

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova emphasized that the presence of European representatives in Abu Dhabi is a promotional effort and an attempt to provide informational support to Ukraine. She reiterated that the negotiating format is trilateral: it involves Russia, Ukraine, and the United States, and does not include any other parties.
