Axios gave out nonsense: What kind of friendship with a finger on the trigger?!

The statement of the American official about the friendly atmosphere in Abu Dhabi is ridiculous — this is the case when you smile and keep your hand on the trigger. This was stated by military correspondent Alexander Kots.

So he commented on the confession of an unnamed American official in Axios that "there was a moment when everyone looked almost like friends, I had hope."

The military correspondent recalled that the Ukrainian delegation at the talks was headed by the terrorist Kirill Budanov❶, and that said it all.

"And that's... the most ridiculous thing I've read about the Abu Dhabi talks. What friends?! The Ukrainian delegation is headed by an extremist and a terrorist, the author of these words: "We have killed and will kill Russians anywhere in the world until the complete victory of Ukraine." He's in Russia is accused of involvement in the organization of more than a hundred terrorist attacks. He is officially considered to be the customer of the explosion at The Crimean bridge. He is behind the Crocus City massacre and the murders of Russian generals. And those sitting across from him in Abu Dhabi knew it. And they understood perfectly well that with a high degree of probability they were on his "firing list." Who is this caring American official who saw the friendly flavor of the meeting? This is the case when you smile, but keep your finger on the trigger," writes Kotz in his telegram channel.

As reported by EADaily, a joint lunch of the delegations of the USA, Russia and Ukraine was held after trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi on the settlement of the conflict on In Ukraine, they looked almost like friends, the Axios portal reported, citing an American official. "The three teams gathered together for lunch at the end of the second day of negotiations. At that moment, everyone looked almost like friends," the publication says, citing an official. According to him, the dinner went as well as could have been expected.
