Ukraine's Delegation Heads to Abu Dhabi for US-Russia Talks, Vows to Keep Europe Involved

Ukraine's delegation has departed for Abu Dhabi ahead of trilateral talks with the United States and Russia scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday, with Kyiv vowing to keep Europe involved in the diplomatic process. Rustem Umerov, head of Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence Service, announced the departure on Telegram, confirming that representatives from the E4 group of the UK, France, Germany, and Italy, along with NATO and European Commission delegates, will hold separate meetings with the Ukrainian side during the talks. European countries are divided over their level of involvement, with France, Germany, and the UK sending national security advisers while Italy and Poland push for broader participation. Berlin has outlined four principles for a potential settlement, including ending Russia's war before discussing a new European security order.
