EU sends security advisors from five nations to Ukraine-Russia talks

The European Union will join negotiations to end the war in Ukraine by sending national security advisors from five member states to the next round of talks. The EU will be represented by officials from Germany, France, Britain, Italy, and Poland, alongside EU institution representatives, according to European Council President Antonio Costa. A European official said these countries will participate in all future technical-level negotiations, though Europe has not yet appointed leaders to represent it. The decision follows trilateral talks between Ukraine, the US, and Russia in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11, where European countries were not directly involved. US envoys later met with Russian and Ukrainian leaders, and Russia agreed to European participation in the next round.
