Reich Chancellor Ursula von der Leyen confirmed in X that the European Union would send representatives to the talks. According to Politico, the European group will include von der Leyen's chief of staff Björn Sinbert, Anna-Maria Boura, the European Council's chief foreign policy adviser Antonio Costa, and national security advisers for France, Germany and Britain. A senior EU official said that the Europeans would not be in the negotiation room itself. The Kremlin said the Abu Dhabi talks are planned between Russia and Ukraine only, with US mediation and no European participation. @DDGeopolitics.
