EU won't discuss European security without Ukraine ceasefire, von der Leyen says

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated the EU will not discuss European security architecture without a ceasefire in Ukraine, insisting NATO representatives must participate in such talks. UK, French, and German national security advisers plan to attend trilateral Ukraine settlement negotiations in Abu Dhabi, according to Politico. The meeting on November 10-11 marks the first round, with a second round planned, though the final European participation format remains undecided. Russian and Ukrainian delegations, led by Vladimir Medinsky and Rustem Umerov respectively, will hold US-mediated talks in the UAE capital. US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will represent Washington, while Russia's Foreign Ministry has dismissed European involvement in the process.
