Russia expects the main focus of fresh peace talks on Ukraine, scheduled to begin in Abu Dhabi later on Tuesday, to be discussions on establishing a new post-war security framework for Europe, a source in the Russian delegation said.Russian and Ukrainian officials are set to hold two days of US-mediated negotiations, their first meeting since February.

The talks come after US President Donald Trump said last week that a broader peace agreement could be within reach, potentially addressing Europe's security concerns as well. A source in the Russian delegation told news agency Reuters, the discussions would centre on developing mechanisms to prevent security threats and enhance regional stability."While a settlement in Ukraine remains a matter of critical importance, it is only one part of these broader discussions and is subordinate to the main objective of establishing a comprehensive and indivisible security architecture for the entire continent," the source said.Representatives from France, Britain, Germany, the European union, NATO and Italy are also expected to be in Abu Dhabi, where they are likely to hold discussions with US and Ukrainian officials.

Moscow, however, has not indicated whether it will engage in any direct discussions with European representatives during the week.Russia's 11-member delegation is being led by presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky. It also includes two deputy foreign ministers and several senior officials from the country's military and intelligence agencies.
