Russian officials participating in trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi did not hold any meetings with European Union representatives. Such contacts were not initially included in the negotiations program, according to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.

He added that the Russian delegation in the United Arab Emirates regularly updates President Vladimir Putin on the progress of consultations and events taking place during the talks.

The topic of negotiations in Abu Dhabi was also discussed by Russian President Vladimir Putin and Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko during their meeting at Novo-Ogaryovo (the presidential residence outside Moscow) the previous day.

Additionally, Peskov commented on the possibility of a phone call between Putin and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre. The Kremlin representative stated that no such request has been received from the Norwegian prime minister so far.
