Two days of talks and we have a large scale prisoner swap agreed to, good momentum and an agreement to talk more.

Russia-Ukraine talks mediated by U.S. end with news of ‘good momentum,’ large-scale prisoner swap

Flurry of talks, large-scale prisoner swap expected to follow two-day session in Abu Dhabi

Russia’s chief negotiator at the latest Ukraine peace talks in Abu Dhabi said Wednesday after their conclusion that mutual understanding had been achieved on some issues, but not on others, and that more negotiations would take place.

In remarks broadcast on Russian state television, Vladimir Medinsky said that a new potential future European security framework had been a central theme in the two-day talks.

“Together with the American side, we exchanged our views on this; on some points we reached a common understanding, whilst on others we did not. And this discussion will, of course, continue. The world needs a new, modern, updated security system — one that is fair and does not disadvantage any particular countries,” Medinsky said.

Regarding prisoner exchange;

Zorin said the exchange would consist of more than 1,000 captives on each side. Previous prisoner swaps have usually been of no more than a few hundred prisoners each.

Russia, Ukraine agree on large-scale prisoner exchange — chief negotiator

ABU DHABI, November 11. /TASS/. Russia and Ukraine have agreed to carry out a large-scale prisoner exchange following talks in Abu Dhabi, Russian Presidential Aide Vladimir Medinsky, who is heading Moscow’s delegation, said.

He emphasized that humanitarian issues had been discussed during the negotiations.

“We reached a fundamental agreement on another large-scale prisoner exchange. Details will be announced soon,” he said after the trilateral talks between Russia, the United States and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi.

Prisoner exchange was agreed to.

I’d already mentioned NATO exercises and troops station in Poland, as well as Lithuania and Latvia..

Sergey Lavrov highlights that the EU intends to use military as rehearsal for troop deployment into Ukraine– Provocative NATO behaviour

MOSCOW, November 10. /TASS/. Moscow will not agree to another ceasefire in Ukraine without a clear understanding of what will follow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told reporters following a joint meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers, the Council of Defense Ministers and the Committee of Secretaries of Security Councils of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO).

Lavrov highlighted that EU countries intend to use military exercises that began in Poland to rehearse the deployment of troops to Ukraine to protect the Kiev Nazi regime.

EU plans

Europe is once again seeking to give the Kiev regime a respite to rebuild its military capabilities, but Moscow will not agree to this: “[European Commission President] Ursula von der Leyen said: ‘There will be no discussions on the parameters of a security architecture until there is a sustainable ceasefire.’ This reflects the same old logic: they need to buy time for their clients, the Kiev regime, and use that time to somehow make up for the military losses they have suffered. We will not agree to that.”

EU countries intend to practice the deployment of troops to Ukraine during exercises that have begun in Poland: “Europe’s plan is very simple, and they are not hiding it: as soon as a ceasefire takes effect, they will deploy ‘stabilization forces’ into territory controlled by the Kiev regime. Meanwhile, around 10 to 12 EU countries have begun military exercises in Poland, coinciding with the talks in Abu Dhabi. So far, 2,000 personnel are taking part. But the scenario for these exercises is the deployment of troops to Ukraine to protect the Kiev Nazi regime from Russia.”
No ceasefire without clarity on what comes next

If you read this previous post..you would have noticed the NATO troops already position in and near to Poland.

Poland’s Strategy of Tension- NATO EU tentacles- the shooter has died

Following the coup fiasco, over the past week German soldiers have been seen wandering around Warsaw

Well, well, right in the middle of a Europeanist coup d’état, France and the United Kingdom are going to mobilize nearly 3,000 troops in POLAND in a few days to “prepare for deployment in Ukraine”!

Back to TASS article– Russia will not agree to another ceasefire in Ukraine without a clear understanding of what will follow: “We will not agree to another truce, another ceasefire, whatever it may be called, without understanding what comes next.”

Kiev’s revenge

The Kiev regime could eventually begin to “punish” Russia’s friends and allies “in an aggressive rage”: “I do not rule out that at some stage, in such a, you know, aggressive rage, the Kiev regime may well begin to ‘punish’ our friends and allies. I wouldn’t put it past it.”

The Kiev regime is attacking targets not only deep inside Russia with Western assistance, but also in other countries: “The actions of the Kiev regime come as no surprise as it is attacking targets not only deep inside Russia using Western weapons, Western satellite data, and other Western-provided guidance methods, but also targets in foreign countries.”

Talks in Abu Dhabi

European representatives who chose to travel to Abu Dhabi can sit in their hotel: “As for the Europeans’ participation, well, they have flown to Abu Dhabi. Let them sit in the hotel there.”

“At the proposal of US mediators, the talks [in Abu Dhabi] focus on the parameters of a future security architecture for Ukraine, Russia and the region as a whole. In other words, they concern European security. This is a fundamental point, because all we hear now from Brussels and other EU capitals are calls for an immediate ceasefire.”

The idea of first establishing clear security guarantees is perfectly reasonable.

Russia hopes that the United States will not take further military action against Iran: “Regarding [US President] Donald Trump’s statement that Washington is not considering further military scenarios (against Iran – TASS), I hope this will be so.”

The US invited Poland to attend the G-20 meetings in Atlanta- Poland is expected to be invited to the G-20 meetings in the UK as well…

Russia’s Lavrov says inviting Poland to attend G20 meeting breaks diplomatic rules

This was translated from Italian.. still you’ll get the gist of it!

Oct 30 (Reuters) – Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov was quoted as said on Friday that Poland to attend G20 meetings was counter-productive and broke with diplomatic practice of seeking consensus at such gatherings.

Polish Polish Minister Radoslaw Sikorski ( Sikorski and Tusk over and over) told reporters in Atlanta that the US had made a motion to make Poland a permanent G20 member and Warsaw was lobbying for that.

“Of course, this violas the principles of diplomacy, and and especially multilateral diplomacy, when members of associations such as the G20 work on the basis of consensus,” Lavrov told reporters on the sidelines of a G20 foreign ministry’ meeting in Atlanta, according to Russian news agencies.

“This concerns the agenda and it concerns extending invitations to new participants,” he said.

Poland, Lavrov said, “adds nothing” to the meeting.

He said Warsaw to failed ( didn’t meet standards etc.,) to fail for attendance at the meeting as its economy was not big enough.

And its description as a representative of “eastern Europe” was erroneous as there was already sufficient representation from NATO and the European Union.

Lavrov said Russia had been subjected to no pressure in terms of Poland being invited to the Atlanta meeting. ( I take that to mean, they were not asked or considered)

“The Americans simply invited the Polish minister, he came and sat in the chair that was provided for him,” Lavrov was quoted as saying.

Polksieradio.pl- Poland courted at G-20 talks as meeting ends without joint declaration

Poland attended the October 30-31 talks in Atlanta at the invitation of the United States, which holds this year’s G20 presidency.

Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski sat next to host Rubio during the gathering.

‘Poland deserves a seat at this table of global leaders’: Rubio

“Poland as a country is making great strides economically as well as in the security domain because they put their national interests and their citizens first,” ( Sikorski and Tusk are there to make sure that Poland puts American/EU/NATO interests first) Rubio said.

He added that President Donald Trump “believes very strongly that Poland deserves a seat at this table of global leaders, and we very much hope to see them – and other strong nations on the rise – invited back next year.”

Sikorski said that “support from the United States for Poland’s full membership in the G20 is evident.” He added: “Thanks to these two days of meetings we certainly have a better sense of where we still need to persuade and where we already have solid support for our permanent presence in this forum.”

He did not say whether Poland would attend future G20 meetings as a full participant or as a guest.

What’s next?

Sikorski said Britain, which hosts next year’s G20 summit in Manchester, had invited Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.

Asked why President Karol Nawrocki would not be going, he joked: “The British also have a Charles as head of state, but it’s inconceivable to them that Charles would muscle in on international meetings against the government.”

Sikorski— who cares about the President, he’s not a good loyalist to the US empire
