The Russian Federation is dragging out peace talks with Ukraine and the United States in Abu Dhabi.

Axar.az reports that this was stated by Speaker of Ukraine’s Verkhovna Rada Ruslan Stefanchuk in a media briefing following his meeting with U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson.

“This is typical Russian behavior. They say: ‘We are ready for everything without any conditions, but, but, but…’ They are delaying this process. What matters to us is that concrete, decisive actions demonstrated jointly by Ukrainians and Americans clearly show the Russians that they must engage in negotiations to end this war,” Stefanchuk added.
