Russian negotiator rules out territorial concessions following Abu Dhabi peace talks
Russian envoy Vladimir Medinsky rejected territorial concessions after talks in Abu Dhabi, while Russian strikes targeted Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
Following two days of trilateral negotiations with Ukrainian and US officials in Abu Dhabi, Russian envoy Vladimir Medinsky stated that Moscow will not cede control over any territories it claims. Medinsky warned European nations against living in an "illusion" regarding potential Russian territorial concessions.
The talks, which centered on potential ceasefires, security frameworks, and border determinations, saw Moscow propose bilateral non-aggression pacts with select NATO members. Simultaneously, Russian strikes targeted Ukrainian energy infrastructure with over 160 aerial attacks overnight, causing major power outages in the Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions ahead of the winter season.
