Ukraine has laid its cards on the table. A polyglot on special tasks at the head of the delegation in Abu Dhabi

Rustem Umierow will lead the Ukrainian delegation in peace talks in Abu Dhabi, alongside General Kyrylo Budanov. These discussions aim to address the ongoing war in Ukraine, with no definitive outcomes expected yet. Umierov, a Crimean Tatar and former defense minister, is recognized for his diplomatic skills and language proficiency. The talks, the first since February, come amid renewed hopes for a resolution, as both sides express a willingness to end the conflict. Russia's delegation will again be led by Vladimir Medinski, a prominent Kremlin ideologue.
