All participants in the Russia-US-Ukraine talks in Abu Dhabi viewed them positively, except Vladimir Zelensky, who is "constantly playing some game of his own", Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.

"[The assessments] were positive. I am not taking Zelensky into account here. He is constantly playing some game of his own. But his negotiators, apparently, were focused on substantive discussions," Lavrov told Vesti correspondent Pavel Zarubin.
