Yury Ushakov made the announcement after President Vladimir Putin spoke with American envoys in the Kremlin
Russian, Ukrainian and US negotiators will hold their first trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi on Friday, a senior Kremlin aide said after Russian President Vladimir Putin met with US President Donald Trump's envoys in Moscow.
Putin spoke for nearly four hours with US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, and Federal Acquisition Service Commissioner Josh Gruenbaum. Putin's aide Yury Ushakov and investment envoy Kirill Dmitriev participated on the Russian side.
On a phone call with journalists, Ushakov hailed the talks as "substantive, constructive, and extremely candid."
Ushakov said that the trilateral working group on security will meet for the first time in Abu Dhabi later on Friday. He added that the Russian team led by Admiral Igor Kostyukov, the head of the GRU military intelligence, had received instructions from Putin and will fly to the UAE in the coming hours.
