Russia supports the US's approach on security guarantees to be one of the key issues of talks in Abu-Dhabi on the Ukraine conflict, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Monday.
"I heard [US State Secretary] Marco Rubio's statement that security issues are becoming crucial at the talks in Abu Dhabi and in general in the situation around the Ukrainian conflict. Moreover, the very agenda of the Abu Dhabi talks presupposes the first item on the security of Russia, Ukraine and, in general, security in this region. We only welcome this approach," Lavrov told reporters after talks with Peruvian Foreign Minister Carlos Espa.
