Russian presidential spokesman Peskov said on Nov. 13 Russia wants to conduct a
humanitarian operation in Konstantinovka under joint Russian and Ukrainian
commissioners with media oversight; demining teams are prepared and require five
days. On European participation in Ukraine talks, he said Moscow would only
broaden talks if convinced European states genuinely seek to advance peace;
bilateral Russia–EU communication is not yet feasible but Russia is willing. He
said the Abu Dhabi tripartite talks did not address withdrawal of existing NATO
members and that a next tripartite round will be held soon.
