Summary
Vladimir Medinsky said the Abu Dhabi talks produced a large-scale prisoner swap agreement and some mutual understanding, marking a concrete outcome from the latest round.
More talks will follow, Medinsky said, suggesting negotiators found enough common ground on at least some issues to keep the process moving.
Medinsky was cool on expanding the format to Europe, saying it was unclear what Russia and the EU had to discuss because Moscow saw no proposals from the European side.
The swap would extend a long run of Russia-Ukraine prisoner exchanges, offering a limited humanitarian result even as broader peace terms remain unresolved.
