di.se (Swedish) —

Russia has ruled out European participation in Ukraine talks in Abu Dhabi this week, with only Russia, Ukraine, and the US as mediator expected at the table, according to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. US envoy Jared Kushner said he and Steve Witkoff will hold separate meetings with EU, NATO, and several European countries on the sidelines, while stressing direct Russia-Europe communication is needed for a lasting agreement. EU Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen said meaningful security discussions can only occur after a ceasefire, and must involve NATO allies and EU members in an appropriate forum.
