France joins Ukraine-US-Russia talks in Abu Dhabi

France will join trilateral talks between Ukraine, the US, and Russia in Abu Dhabi, insisting that Europe's position be considered in discussions about the continent's future. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot announced the participation on Sunday, November 8. Barrot stated France will definitely attend the meeting but did not specify who will represent the country. He emphasized that European nations have intensified efforts to ensure their voice is heard by American mediators, saying no discussions about the continent's future can ignore European expectations. Russia has already announced its delegation for the talks scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday, led by Putin's advisor Vladimir Medinsky, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirming the appointment.
