Europe to Join Ukraine-Russia-US Talks in Abu Dhabi

European representatives will be present at upcoming trilateral talks between Ukraine, Russia, and the US in Abu Dhabi, according to French Minister Jean-Noël Barrot, who confirmed France's participation in the discussions. Barrot stated Europeans will be "well represented" at the Tuesday-Wednesday official-level meetings, though he did not specify the format of European representation or who will represent France. He emphasized that talks concerning Europe's future cannot exclude European input. The talks follow President Trump's claim of a major agreement potentially covering "all of Europe," while Russia has criticized Europeans for lacking a unified voice. Separate Brussels meetings this week addressed Ukraine's reconstruction and security guarantees, with US envoy Jared Kushner confirming NATO's central role and rejecting Russian veto demands.
