Europe ties security talks to Ukraine settlement first

interfax.ru (Russian) —

European leaders refuse to discuss broader European security before the Ukraine conflict is resolved, despite US envoy Jared Kushner's position, according to the Financial Times. European officials insist any post-conflict security talks must follow peace negotiations with Kyiv, not run concurrently. EU representatives may travel to Abu Dhabi to bolster Kyiv's position and counter Russian efforts to reshape Europe's security architecture. The EU delegation will be led by Bjorn Seibert and Maria Bura, with NATO's Jeffrey Van Leuven also attending. A trilateral Russia-US-Ukraine meeting is scheduled in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11.
