Russia's choice of negotiators, rather than its announcement of talks, is the revealing detail for journalist Alexey Dushka. In a political commentary for Ukraine's Channel 24 (24 Канал), he argues that the delegation heading to Abu Dhabi is designed to prolong negotiations rather than secure an agreement.

The episode examines preparations for three-way talks on the war in Ukraine, scheduled for November 10 in the United Arab Emirates. It brings together Donald Trump's CBS interview, European diplomatic disagreements and footage of Vladimir Putin meeting senior Russian officials.

Dushka begins with the US president's suggestion on 60 Minutes that Ukraine will emerge from the war with a somewhat different shape. Trump does not specify what that means. According to the channel's account, he also identifies hostility between Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as the principal obstacle to peace, and says Russia was treated disrespectfully at the two leaders' first meeting.

The commentary then turns to potential pressure on Moscow. Dushka discusses reported congressional plans for $15 billion in additional Ukraine assistance and tougher sanctions. These are presented as proposals, not aid already approved or sanctions already imposed.

Europe's place at the negotiating table is another unresolved issue in his account. Citing European reporting and statements, he examines disagreements over engagement with Putin, frozen Russian assets and who would represent Europe in Abu Dhabi.

A substantial middle section concerns maritime security. Dushka discusses statements by Britain's defence chief, Richard Knighton, about a northern European maritime alliance to deter Russia's fleet and protect undersea cables. He also considers British nuclear-powered submarines and deterrence arrangements outside NATO.

The final section returns to the Kremlin. Footage from Russian state television shows Putin announcing that the talks should begin the following Tuesday. Dushka identifies the Russian delegation as Vladimir Medinsky, Igor Kostyukov, Yuri Ushakov, Mikhail Galuzin and Sergei Ryabkov.

Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov's absence is central to Dushka's interpretation: he argues that Moscow has deliberately lowered its delegation's diplomatic standing. That is his assessment of the Kremlin's intentions, not an announced Russian negotiating position.
