Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed the situation in Ukraine and, in particular, the outcome of the trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi with his counterparts at the recent Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) summit, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told TASS.
He confirmed that the issue had been raised during the leaders' closed-door talks.
A CSTO Collective Security Council meeting was held in Moscow on November 11. On the same day, a new round of trilateral talks on Ukraine involving representatives of the United States and Ukraine concluded in Abu Dhabi. However, Ukraine was not specifically mentioned in Putin's opening remarks during the public part of the CSTO summit, either at the meeting in a restricted format or at the expanded session.
