Russia and Ukraine have reached some common ground in the peace talks in Abu Dhabi and agreed on a major prisoner exchange. This is according to Russia’s chief negotiator Vladimir Medinsky, Reuters reports.
Medinsky says that further talks will be held, but provides no further details on which issues the parties have moved closer together on.
He is, however, cool to the idea of European countries participating in the talks and says, according to the news agency, that it is unclear what Russia and the EU have to discuss because he believes the European side has not put forward any proposals.
