German Foreign Minister Johann Wadeful expressed dissatisfaction with Russia's negotiating position, which, in his words, included “stubborn insistence on the important territorial issue.” The Guardian writes about this. “What I heard and read today, including about the negotiations in the United Arab Emirates, is only Russia's stubborn insistence on the important territorial issue,” Wadeful said. According to him, if there is no flexibility, “negotiations may drag on or may not be successful at this stage.” The Kremlin reported that continued trilateral communication between Russia, the US and Ukraine to resolve the Russia-Ukraine conflict is planned for next week. According to Press Secretary of the President of Russia, Mr. Dmitry Peskov, at the current stage of negotiations, “friendliness is unlikely to happen”. He emphasized that Moscow will not openly discuss the topics of the negotiations, but talk about what is of fundamental importance for Russia. Read more in the article “Gazeta.Ru”.
