European leaders secure last-minute seat at Ukraine war talks in Abu Dhabi

European leaders have secured last-minute representation at Ukraine war talks in Abu Dhabi, fearing the negotiations could redraw Europe's security architecture without their input. The talks involve Russia, the US, and Ukraine. The European delegation includes security advisers from Germany, France, and the UK, plus EU and NATO representatives. This follows demands from European leaders, Ukraine's largest backers, who worry about US envoy Jared Kushner's hints at a new European security framework that could undermine NATO. Russia's President Vladimir Putin's spokesperson claimed Monday that Europe would not attend, despite German and EU confirmations of travel plans. It remains unclear whether Europeans will influence the talks or merely observe.
