美国国务卿安东尼·布林肯周三于基辅明确表示,决定何时启动与俄罗斯的和平谈判之钥握于乌克兰手中,此举在美国与乌克兰外交部长德米特里·库列巴的联合新闻发布会中得到强调。 Doha, Oct 11 (UNI) The Tuesday visit of UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan to Russia was planned in advance to discuss bilateral issues between the two countries, an Emirati presidential adviser said, adding that the escalation of the situation in Ukraine requires an urgent diplomatic solution. "The visit of the head of the UAE to Russia was planned in advance within the framework of bilateral relations and our independent sovereign choice. However, the escalation of the situation in Ukraine requires an urgent solution through diplomacy, dialogue and respect for the norms and principles of international law. This is a firm position of the UAE," Anwar Gargash said on Twitter. Earlier in the day, Russian President Vladimir Putin held a face-to-face meeting with the UAE president in Saint Petersburg.
