Russian Presidential Aide Medinsky says the Abu Dhabi talks were businesslike and friendly. Conflict shows the European security system works poorly. Talks will continue. European security was a key theme

EU Relations/Security Correct to consider what will happen to security in the European region, when the conflict resolves. New security system needs to be fair. No peace proposals or initiatives were received from the EU, so it is unclear what there is to discuss with the EU. Proposals, if there are any, will be considered. Ukraine Agreed to a prisoner swap with Ukraine (as expected). Will be large in scale. Prison swap could take place in the next few weeks. US involvement was positive, US mediators played a constructive role. General Understanding on some points, but not others. Specific details will not be disclosed until there is a final agreement.
