Europe to be represented at Abu Dhabi talks, France says

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot announced that Europe will be represented at the trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi, despite the format being officially Ukraine-US-Russia. France will present Europe's position at the negotiations. Barrot stated on RTL radio on Sunday, November 8, that France will ensure Europe's voice is heard, though he could not yet name the French representative. He emphasized that no discussion about the continent's future can occur without European participation. The talks are scheduled for November 10-11 in the UAE, with Russia sending a higher-level delegation led by Vladimir Medinsky. Ukraine's delegation reportedly includes Kyrylo Budanov, though the presidential office clarified he is a member, not the leader.
