Vladimir Medinsky, the head of the Russian delegation, spoke for the first time in Abu Dhabi after the US-led talks. Although he promised to continue talks with Ukraine, he mocked the European representatives who arrived in Abu Dhabi.

The negotiations between Russians and Ukrainians under the aegis of the Americans took place in Abu Dhabi. During these two days of direct discussions, the two sides agreed to a further massive exchange of prisoners but the presence of European representatives is seen with a bad eye in Moscow.

The head of the Russian delegation, Vladimir Medinsky, made several offensive comments about the European representatives at a press briefing after the talks in Abu Dhabi. He called them "tourists," questioned their status in the talks, and suggested they meet in the "hotel lobby bar" and learn common sense from the Americans.
