The United States is seeking to increase interaction between Europe and Russia, according to reports following an informal EU summit in Dublin. The effort comes amid ongoing efforts to resolve the conflict in Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin, US President Donald Trump, and Chinese President Xi Jinping will meet on November 19 in China. France, Germany, Italy, Poland, and Britain will represent Europe in Ukraine peace negotiations, according to Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo. Ukraine and the US have repeated calls for Europe to participate in peace talks between Ukraine and Russia, though Russia has not yet decided whether it wants Europeans involved. German newspaper Bild reported Russian negotiators demanded Finland leave NATO during talks in Abu Dhabi, a claim Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov denied.
