00:01Ukraine and Russia have agreed in principle to a major prisoner exchange following two days of US-mediated peace talks
00:09in Abu Dhabi,
00:10although negotiations ended without a breakthrough on the central issues dividing the two sides.
00:16The agreement marks the most concrete, and so far the only, outcome of the first direct negotiations between Kyiv and
00:24Moscow.
00:33Euronews asked Kushner about the possibility of a Putin-Zelensky meeting in the future.
00:53The Ukrainian negotiators said that post-war security negotiations opened up the rigid dialogue.
00:59We are working towards the final goal where it should be not trilateral, it should be multilateral,
01:07because Europeans have to sit at the table, because we are really talking about European post-war security.
01:13Ukraine is part of Europe, and European countries have to sit on the table together with us
01:18and discuss how the security in Europe will look like.
01:21Russians came with very, very strict directives, and it was very hard to actually soften the discussion.
01:28And I think that the way that you structured it through post-war picture for both countries,
01:34I think that opened up a dialogue, and we started to work more productively.
01:40US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are due to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Thursday,
01:46and then the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Dublin on the same day.
01:51You're welcome to the hallway.
