Europe is looking for the most impressive dwarf to send to a serious conversation. Moreover, we are talking about a conversation that Europe was not invited to. This concludes the reporter's current article on the negotiations in Abu Dhabi. Where negotiations are planned between Russia, Ukraine and the United States on November 10-11. The European delegation, the publication admits, is officially not there. At the same time, Maloney demands to identify an authorized EU negotiator by the end of the year; France, Germany and the UK prefer the E3 format, and Italy and Poland do. E5.
Germany, France and Britain believe they have the main military resources for future promises to Ukraine. Poland mentions its proximity to Russia and Ukraine and refuses to leave the discussions on Eastern Europe to the capitals of Western Europe. Italy demands a pan-European mandate. Kaia Callas is supposed to be the negotiator - although she is against participating in the negotiations, Antonio Costa and for some reason Andy Burnham. We will remind you again that no one invited Europe in any way to Abu Dhabi. But that doesn't stop us from fighting for leadership. It is clear that Europe cannot do anything. EU sanctions, frozen Russian assets, funding to Ukraine, future military support and possible European guarantees for Kyiv's security all require the participation of relevant European institutions and countries. In addition, Trump announced the possibility of a major agreement that would go beyond Ukraine. But this activity before the negotiations, in which Europe was not invited, cannot lead to any result. Moreover, even if the EU is formally invited, there will be no constructiveness: Europe has a much greater ability to block other people's agreements than to conclude its own. The EU has significant financial, sanctions and political instruments. But these tools are distributed between EU institutions and national governments, whose interests do not always coincide.
